Fashion labels Gucci, Moncler, and Prada, and even pop star Katy Perry, have yanked styles from sale in response to accusations that they somehow resembled blackface. Two of the reversals happened this month, proving the point that America is not celebrating Black History Month very well. The shoes, shirts, and keychains were said to imitate stereotypical representations of black people. But they also committed another crime. They were ugly.

The fashion industry needs to start considering the racial implications of imagery before it’s promoted, but there’s another way to keep flubs like these from hitting the shelves. Stop making ugly clothes. If more designers knew what people actually wanted to wear, they’d stop using racist imagery and, yeah, they’d stop shelling out overpriced trash like these fashion failures.
