We apologize for this error and are working to ensure that only the approved artwork is used. DKNY has always supported the arts and we deeply regret this mistake.
Stanton's name. The company's swift response seemed to come about in response to the furious online reaction to Stanton's original post, which went viral almost immediately, eventually even landing on the front page of Reddit in the form of an Imgur link that generated more than , views by 10 a. The official Humans of New York Facebook account released a statement endorsing DKNY's move, and explaining to Stanton's supporters that he is satisfied with the result.
Thanks so much for your support, everyone. But the donation -- which only amounted to one-quarter of what Stanton asked for -- didn't appease many of HONY's fans, who continued Tuesday morning to post messages lambasting the company both on its and the Humans of New York Facebook pages. Nova Scotian Facebooker Crystal Carmichael , for instance, shared her thoughts with the company directly by posting the following comment on its official Facebook page:.
And U. Sort your lives out. It appears that the debacle could even have an impact on sales, as some commenters, including Imgur user BridgetGraham, have posted comments stating that they will no longer buy clothes from the clothier, or that they regret having done so in the past.
I just bought a DKNY coat. Regrets," BridgetGraham wrote in her comment on the thread for the Imgur link that went viral Monday. It remains to be seen how much longer the P. Join the Discussion. Older people, photographed in close-ups so sharp I haven't seen since the "Six Feet Under" crew wanted to show off their makeup work during the series finale, call themselves cougars or describe what getting older is like or, cutely, say they "got experience" after Each subject is shot in a tightly focused frame, so we can impute meaning to every wrinkle across their faces even before we read the caption provided, which is usually, handily enough, about the aging process I've known plenty of older people who speak about things other than what getting older is like, at times; if Stanton has, he doesn't let on.
And young children provide the exact opposite function, photographed in full frame so we can assay their little limbs and hear how they're obsessed with Ninja Turtles , or giants , or Derek Jeter , with getting their picture taken. Most strange of all are the photos captioned "microfashion," which focus on nonwhite children simply wearing clothes their parents thought looked cute outside any fashion context.
The site's posts get to their emotional endpoint easily. A close-up photo of an elder will move you to "like" Humans of New York, as will a child dressed in a cute outfit. And so will a photo in which a heavyset man dominates the frame and tells us that he's " struggled with weight my whole life. What, exactly, are the likers liking?
If anything, they're emotionally manipulated by the snippet of this man's life Stanton presents to press the thumbs-up sign. In another show of dissonance, a photograph of a black, tattooed arm, one with a comparatively low 4, notes as of this writing, indicates that the subject didn't want his face on the Internet : "Nah. I've got warrants. To acknowledge Stanton's hard work in notifying all of us that some black, tattooed men have warrants out against them? This instance is more troubling—it's dehumanizing.
The humans of New York, generally, get to show their faces—faces are the very point of the site. This individual, who told Stanton he didn't want to be part of the project, is represented as a faceless notion of "a criminal," just a tattooed limb. Confronted with a person whose real life makes a twee photography site seem rather insignificant, Stanton decided it would be artistic to break from his normal style and depicted the arm as an object, out of context, with no body, face, or mind.
The site, it seems, is disappearing up Stanton's own navel—more and more posts depict the humans of New York telling Stanton that "I knew you'd stop me one day" or that " I've always been terrified of running into you and having absolutely nothing to say" or " I was just talking yesterday about the inspirational thing I was going to say to you!
Obviously, the site isn't journalism—it's documenting nothing more than Stanton's own viewpoint and, now, how much he evidently enjoys being a known quantity.
And art thrives on the unexpected, so it's not that. Humans of New York is, as Stanton pushes his book and finds fans on the street, neither human nor, really, of New York. I guess it makes sense that my old classmate who keeps sharing the photos has been living in Philadelphia since graduation. Maybe it's easy to sell an idea of authenticity to those for whom New York is just someone else's vanity project.
