We See You Vol. 18: ASOS Says Cara Delevingne Invented Micro Braids & Gets Dragged
ASOS Blasted For Micro Braids Tweet
Online fashion store ASOS is currently feeling the wrath of Twitter for an article on their website about a braided hairstyle.
Earlier today the company tweeted (and deleted) a story on Cara Delevigne’s micro braids (mind you it was JUST one single braid) and credited her with “making it a thing.”
Inside the actual post, the writer then noted that it was a french micro braid that hugged her part a.k.a. A CORNROW and added that her makeup look is the “most lit way to beautify yourself.”
SIGH.
So now it’s not a micro braid, it’s a part hugging french braid??? What are they even talking about???
Twitter has since responded accordingly.
This is actually a REALLY cute hairstyle, but now you've ruined it by crediting a white girl. (It's a cornrow, BTW) @ASOS @Caradelevingne

@ASOS Clearly your company is not Inclusive and Diverse enough to know @Caradelevingne Did Not Start Micro Braids. African Women Did..

@ASOS out here saying that a white woman is the reason why micro braids are in style…micro…braids.

@ASOS @Caradelevingne No actually thanks to black women. I know it's 4/20 day but you probably shouldn't be high at work, guys.

@ASOS @Caradelevingne Hey ASOS – Cara didn't start the trend. Black people have been doing it for decades – even centuries. Cut it out.
