Cultural Appropriation in the Fashion Industry: A Critical Examination

Khemaïs Ben Lakhdar on Cultural Appropriation and Domination Khemaïs Ben Lakhdar, a doctoral candidate in art history at Sorbonne and affiliated with the French Institute of Fashion, delves into the contentious issue of cultural appropriation within the fashion sector. In his recent work titled "Cultural Appropriation: History, Domination, and Creation: Origins of Western Pillaging," Ben Lakhdar posits that cultural appropriation fundamentally involves the dominant group appropriating and recontextualizing cultural artifacts, often from marginalized communities, primarily for capitalist purposes. This process, he argues, not only strips these artifacts of their original context and meaning but also perpetuates stereotypes rooted in colonial histories. The 19th Century and New Discoveries...

LAURENT PICCIOTTO, Founder of ChronoPassion.

Man cultivates paradoxes. He began working as a horologist in the 1980s, when the profession did not yet exist. He took social networks to bras-le-corps, in a feudal universe where every word was adjusted by a directing committee. In 2011, he served as master of ceremonies at the Geneva Grand Prix d'Horlogerie (GPHG). He has always admired independent watchmakers, even as the trend toward institutionalization of brands grew. We might almost say that Laurent Picciotto enjoys going against the grain. Except that, quite often, he is the one who provides the sense of flow.His partners include Audemars Piguet, Hublot, MB&F, and Urwerk, among dozens of others, such as Richard Mille, of which he was an investor and co-founder.For Audemars Piguet, he opened a boutique under their banner fo...
