Farrah Moan is opening up about the importance of promoting queer artists: 'It's too often a subject where I'm seeing friends of mine having their own personal designs stolen [by] multi-million dollar names and brands.”
on behalf of marginalized artists -- like the young designer who hand-stoned her own corset -- who have seen their ideas lifted in a similar way.
"I'm not here to sue Ariana Grande, that's so ridiculous. I am such a fan of hers. But I do think, you know, you should cover your ground a little bit before you want to so intensely come for someone for taking something from you," she added. "It's too often a subject where I'm seeing friends of mine having their own personal designs stolen [by] multi-million dollar names and brands. It's just sad.
"I was like, 'Oh, this is a flattering coincidence,' because, as I said, I'm a fan... It didn't honestly grind my gears until I saw the lawsuit, to be fair," she explained."And also, part of my tweet mentions that I [later] met the seamstress that put together Ariana's version, and they told me straight up that Ari's team was in love with my look and they wanted a repeat of it... I was like, 'Oh wow, I'm not crazy. She did copy the look.
"It's nothing new, and I just hope that, if there's anything that could come from my visibility right now, it's that other teams of big names or big brands could maybe include and incorporate the queer and other minority artists that are underground into the projects that they're doing," she added, noting that what she'd like to tell the singer is that"there's a lot of people that can relate to what she's going through with her Forever 21 lawsuit.
