In an article for The Guardian’s Hannah Pool explains Why blacking up is the worst kind of fashion crime.

If the images are supposed to be an artistic form of social commentary, they have pitched it badly wrong.

she says and goes on to ask:

Read Hannah’s story and determine for yourself if this is indeed a crime against fashion.
