Ahh, thanks for the clarification.

Though I feel like there's other attempts at diversity too. I didn't see any of the ads for this season, but I heard that outside of the show proper some designers were being positioned as explicitly non-gendernormative. I'm not gonna argue that Ayana is any kind of "diversity hire", but she does bring an unexplored demographic to the show. All of that are good things but fashion is an industry that could be argued to be inherently about normativity and convincing people of the need to fit into a certain mold. So you could see where some of their awkwardness around trying to be respectful comes from. That's obviously not a criticism of the show trying to do right.

Yeah, they actually grouped up the designers based on background in the first episode, and there were four genderfluid ones, though I'm not sure they used that word. Most of them got kicked off early.

I thought Ayana was chosen pretty much for being Muslim, but I've been pleasantly surprised by her talent.

That's so weird, I haven't really liked any of her fashion. The textiles rarely look harmonious together and the hijab is ALWAYS the odd thing out in her outfits, like a poorly considered addition. It's not a great representation of modest fashion IMO, because it literally looks like the bad stereotype that people picture of just throwing on whatever for the sake of covering up.
Though I can see how maybe this is my European-colonized taste speaking, and these things are different to people who grew up with another aesthetic sensibility. And she really can construct a good top.
