"  Dutch fashion designer Walter van Beirendonck made a powerful statement during his latest menswear show in Paris \u2014 models walked the runway in a take on Native American-style headdresses (but with the feathers attached to helmets). Each headdress featured the phrase &amp;quot;STOP RACISM&amp;quot; spray painted on. That&amp;#039;s almost certainly a reference to a recent Chanel fashion show which saw designer Karl Lagerfeld &amp;quot;playing&amp;quot; with Native American imagery. Lagerfeld&amp;#039;s collection featured many pieces riffing off of stereotypical &amp;quot;cowboys and Indians&amp;quot;-inspired costumes, and even a bridal feather headdress as the final look. Grandmother Willow is rolling her eyes at it all: A lot of people thought it was all quite insensitive (especially considering that Chanel is not a label known for its commitment to diversity on the runways) and van Beirendonck clearly agrees.
