Stockholm Fashion Week returns

Hoka accused of cultural appropriation

Indigenous intellectual property experts in New Zealand accused running shoe brand Hoka of misappropriating Maori culture with its brand name. The company — whose name is from the Maori word “hoka,” meaning “to fly” — has allegedly failed to acknowledge its cultural origins. Experts are calling on Hoka to consult with the Indigenous community to navigate the best practices for honoring the culture. “If you’re going to use someone else’s culture for your own product, you should at least know what the value of that cultural item is and acknowledge it,” Dr. Karaitiana Taiuru, a leading intellectual property rights expert, told Business of Fashion. {Business of Fashion/paywalled}

This challenges industry leaders to rethink how to optimize these technological advancements in a way that’s financially sustainable for workers and doesn’t sacrifice originality and the human touch. {Fashion United}
