Hate against Asian American and Pacific Islander communities has been on the rise during the pandemic, and the fashion industry cannot stay silent. "History has proven that the world suffers not because of the violence of bad people, but because of the silence of good people," designer Prabal Gurung wrote on his personal Instagram page. "Not speaking up against pure evil is the same as cooperating with it." Gurung is one of the many prominent Asian American fashion designers, influencers, and industry professionals who have been outspoken about the troubling trend, but the burden should never rest solely on the AAPI community.

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair.
