Shereen Wu says leading designer uploaded altered picture, amid fears AI could ‘turn back the clock’ on progress in the industry
He also said he was receiving death threats and that the show was a tribute to his aunt, who recently passed away.
Was his aunt a racist and that’s why he made an Asian model white?
Read the article, it wasn’t the designer who made the change. Even the model said so
I read the article and that is not what she said:
While the origin of the altered runway photo is unknown, Wu believes someone – she doesn’t know who – used AI to create the white face that covered hers, a theory Costello echoed in his Instagram post.
If you think the designer had no input into the photos from their own show, either you’re nuts or they don’t care very much about their designs.
Costello denied altering the photo and said the image was “fan art” sent to him by an unspecified source, but he “took responsibility” for sharing it

I expected to be paid in exposure
Oh dear…
