An open letter to H&M from a rape survivor
The Swedish fashion retailer H&M is being criticized by Natalie Karneff after creating a hip line of fashion inspired by the character Lisbeth Salander from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy.
Natalie writes: “Stieg Larsson was inspired to write The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo because he witnessed a girl getting gang raped when he was 15 years old. I’ve heard it said that being raped is like getting a tattoo - it never goes away. I hope your shoppers bear this in mind before they emulate Lisbeth Salander.”
