Pharrell Williams faces backlash after fans take to social media to say they are #NotHappy
Musician and style icon Pharrell Williams is known for his outrageous get ups but fans say he’s gone too far after wearing a traditional First Nation headdress on a fashion magazine cover.
Fans were quick to express their anger after the Elle UK magazine cover was released yesterday.
Hey @Pharrell I’m inviting you to a traditional Sundance so u can learn about the sacrifice that’s put in before someone wears a headdress

#NotHappy about #Pharrell. “Our Culture is not an accessory! How dare the War Bonnet be worn in the same fashion… http://t.co/c9Qbh5pcbc

Seriously? A whole magazine staff & @pharrell‘s handlers thought this was a good idea? http://t.co/mtDAd578gI via @IndianCountry #nothappy

The American singer is just the latest artist to be accused of cultural appropriation. After donning
traditional First Nation gear in a music video last year, Gwen Stefani was forced to apologize.
Chanel, Victoria Secret, H&M, Urban outfitters and Paul Frank have also come under fire for inappropriately using First Nations symbols or imagery in their fashions.
Although, offenders are often quick to apologize and claim they are attempting to honour First Nations culture, fans say it is offensive and perpetuates stereotypes of indigenous people.
What do you think? Are you offended?
