I thought he was talking about intellectual property. Bit privileged still but would've had some basis in normalcy.
I *think* he's actually saying don't wear it because it's not actually high end? Give it to someone who won't know the difference?
Ugh. What an arrogant little twit.
But you acknowledge that you were wearing something that’s culturally Chinese. What I’m talking about is a situation where an item of clothing is blatantly taken from another culture or country and passed as “designer.” High end fashion designers have done this more than once.
He seems like decent being
