Must not use curly patterns
We read:
"First they were lambasted for making Kiwi air hostesses look like drag queens. Now Air New Zealand's new uniforms are under fire for disrespecting Maori culture with their "misuse" of curly patterns.
The country's national carrier has hit heavy turbulence with its latest set of hot pink, lime green and aqua blue outfits to be donned by staff next year. The risque concept range, which includes a garish pink and black dress, have Kiwis reaching for the barf bag, with comments on websites branding them "absolutely hideous", "vile" and "an embarrassing and tragic disaster of epic proportions".
The stylists were no more impressed, likening them to drag-queen-meets-barbie and questioning the "over excited" colour palette.
Now the country's indigenous academics have weighed into the debate, adding that they believe the patterns on the uniforms, designed by famed Kiwi Trelise Cooper, were "disrespectful".

So if the pattern they used somehow looked good instead of bad, would that still be disrespectful?
Is this about honoring a culture or critiquing bad taste?
I would think that "damned ugly" should cover it. And FCUK anyone who finds it offensive to their culture!
Some folks just need to get laid more often.
You all act as though you've never seen people crying out for attention. That's all it is.
