вЂњI wouldnвЂ™t look like a woman of my word, and I would kind of look like an asshole, or, like, that bitchy woman if I said, вЂNo, I donвЂ™t want to switch. Volunteered at Indian NGO in 2015 & 2016. вЂњItвЂ™s so important to me to respect and acknowledge the fact that he wanted to design for his own culture,вЂќ she said in an aside. On Project Runway season 19, Meg will be competing with other designers Aaron Michael, Prajj Oscar Jean-Baptiste, Sabrina Spanta, Shantall Lacayo, Caycee Black, Chasity Sereal, Octavio. When Barlis attempted to switch with Ferguson, who had been paired with the only Asian model in the room, Ferguson wasnвЂ™t happy. This inspired Filipino-American contestant Kenneth Barlis to seek out an Asian model to wear his design. Because his look contained references to Haitian culture, Jean-Baptiste and mentor Cristian Siriano decided that a Black model should wear it on the runway. However, Jean-Baptiste did not voice his feelings until another contestant entered the picture. вЂњAnd thatвЂ™s usually a big misunderstanding in the community and how support comes.вЂќ вЂњOftentimes when you find people in support of our issues, as Black folks, it kind of comes off as if they know what our troubles are and theyвЂ™re our saving grace,вЂќ he said to the camera. Later, in a confessional shot, Jean-Baptiste admitted that FergusonвЂ™s comments made him slightly вЂњuncomfortable.вЂќ gy gondolom, hogy mita emberknt sokat fejldtem, fejldtem s egy spiritulisabb utat vlasztottam az letben. вЂњThis should be a Black magic moment and, like, I feel like we missed the mark.вЂќ minimalista vagyok, mert legutbb a Project Runway-en voltam, csak az egsz tervezsi eszttikmban voltam, sok tlet van a fejemben, de valamilyen oknl fogva a mltban megprbltam mindent beletenni.

вЂњWe canвЂ™t be afraid to say the вЂracismвЂ™ word, and we canвЂ™t be afraid to say, like, вЂwhitewashingвЂ™ and вЂappropriation.вЂ™ Like, you design because you grew up not seeing people like you on the runway,вЂќВ Ferguson said to Jean-Baptiste as he worked on his design.
