The release of Mattel’s So in Style collection of black dolls, the first ever with wider noses, fuller lips and in a variety of skin shades, has been met with disappointment. Parents are saying the prevalence of green and blue eyes as well as long, fine hair is not representative of the race.

Chanel’s Paris-Shanghai collection opened with a video–an imagined alternate history where Coco Chanel takes her first trip to China. In a potentially controversial move, Karl Lagerfeld styled his actors, including models Freja Beha Erichsen and Baptiste Giabiconi, as Chinese characters in yellowface. Lagerfeld defended his decision because of its homage to old films like The Good Earth and Madame Butterfly where European actors played Asian characters, saying, “People around the world like to dress up as different nationalities.” [WWD]

They, and the full line of makeup that soon followed, became iconic, covetable as much for the colours as for the tactile rubbery packaging and clever names. (You may have heard of a certain blush called “Orgasm.”) For the company’s 15th anniversary, 15 celebs (both fashion and the regular variety) posed for photos based on a Nars shade and an iconic reference.
