\n\tK-Pop star Lisa, a member of Blackpink, drew major backlash on Monday after claims that her outfit at the Met Gala<\/a> featured civil rights activist Rosa Parks\u2019s face embroidered on her underwear went viral. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe outfit, a lacy bodysuit and blazer from Louis Vuitton, was designed by Pharrell Williams, now men\u2019s creative director at the brand. It turns out, according to Vulture<\/em>, that the pattern is drawn from artworks <\/a>by Henry Taylor and actually features the faces of people the well-regarded painter knew.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs a rep for Taylor told Vulture<\/em> in a statement, \u201cThe figure featured in Lisa\u2019s Louis Vuitton look is not Rosa Parks, but one of Henry\u2019s neighbors. The faces seen on this look, as well as on previous LV garments featuring Taylor\u2019s artwork, are all drawn from his personal life \u2014 family members, friends, and neighbors. These figures come directly from Henry\u2019s existing artworks, which he provided to LVMH for Pharrell\u2019s debut collection with Louis Vuitton in 2023. None of the individuals depicted in any of the garments are Rosa Parks or other well-known figures from Black cultural history. They are all people from Henry\u2019s own life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDespite the misinformed backlash, the inclusion of garments featuring Taylor\u2019s work was right on theme this year\u2019s edition of the Met Gala. <\/p>\n

\n\tFor the first time in years, the Gala had a host committee <\/a>to support the Costume Institute\u2019s exhibition \u201cSuperfine: Tailoring Black Style<\/a>\u201d and the theme of Black Dandyism. Featured on the committee were a number of top Black artists including Rashid Johnson, Jordan Casteel, and Kara Walker. There were a number of other major Black artists in attendance, including Taylor, Arthur Jafa, Amy Sherald, and more.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
