I like how the NYT tried to do a “some experts say” framing, and the expert was like, you do not need an expert opinion to see this is bad.

Quote text from article:

Lawyers said the nature of the claims posed undeniable ethics challenges.
"What a travesty," said Bennett L.
Gershman, an ethics professor at Pace University. "The ethical conflict is just so basic and fundamental, you don't need a law professor to explain it."

The meticulous multi-stage production process of this i kimono—involving initial crepe silk preparation, shibori resist-dyeing, selective yellow dyeing, hand-painted black striping, and finally dimensional embroidery—represents an almost obsessive commitment to technical perfection. 1880-1912, Japan

English cursive always looks awful and forced. Roman letters weren't for that they were meant to be inscribed in wax all caps no punctuation.
