Thesis Presentation By Ashley Parkin
 NOCO is a fake fashion line that will be
displayed on the Web. It is an exaggerated
visual satire of people’s desire to assume
another ethnicity’s identity, while
discriminating against them at the same
time.
 The line and the web site hosting it are
transforming a negative aspect of being black
into something that is fashionable and easy
to take off when convenient.
 Can a fake clothing line web site steeped in
racial stereotypes stir up online
conversations on race?
 Will online viewers see the satire and
respond to the project’s message
immediately?
