hi jeet. can you explain what you mean with this one cause uhhhhhhhhh
I don't claim to be expert on appropriation but I was curious to see what believing Catholics thought about this use of garb of their tradition. (As a secular Sikh I know I would use of, say, kirpan in this way as slightly odd).

I mean this is my interpretation but appropriation usually happens to cultures that have been maligned. it’s sacrelige, sure, but I do not think it is filed under “appropriation” and I think you were trying to sneak a spicy take in by using a photo of Chadwick as your example

It’s also a conversation about power. Sikhs are marginalized in the West as well as in South Asia. Catholicism is not marginalized and in fact has been the justification for many colonial projects.

From my perspective as a Catholic, I don't think Catholicism is in any danger of people ignoring / misunderstanding the culture or forgetting where these looks came from and what the originals mean, so I don't think this meets the burden of proof for appropriation.

I mean, it would be weird if people literally just wore habits and rosaries but it’s about interpretation and the significant influence Catholicism has had on fashion. A Christian LaCroix jacket with a big ol jeweled cross was Wintour’s first Vogue cover

You also certainly can’t separate the Catholic Church from debates about aesthetics and fashion: https://www.vox.com/2018/5/7/17306388/the-real-controversy-at-the-heart-of-catholic-fashion …
