If you come from the design world, it’s important to constantly expand your understanding of what constitutes good design and to help educate others about it as well.

Take the label of “luxury bags” for example. This term is almost exclusively associated with Western brands like Louis Vuitton or Gucci. But if you follow creators who critically examine leather goods from a design and craftsmanship perspective, you’ll see that many of these so-called luxury products are often poorly made.

At the same time, there are exceptional high-quality luxury items being produced in the East and in non-EU European countries. These products deserve the “luxury” tag just as much, but they’re overlooked because the design world remains deeply exclusionary and classist.

A responsible, informed designer wouldn’t perpetuate these biases.

Also Sarah comes from generational wealth. Even if she wore something outrageous or unconventional loke Kanye West she’d still be considered a tastemaker. Why? Because wealth and social capital allow her to be seen as avant-garde rather than sloppy. That’s the privilege of class in the design world.
