Okay well hurry up: it&#8217;s dedicated to iconic costume designer Eiko Ishioka.<\/p>\n<p>Which is very cool and great.<\/p>\n<p>As you may have learned, today (July 12) marks what would&#8217;ve been the Japanese designer&#8217;s 79th birthday (she died in 2012), and the search engine opted to pay tribute to her work by featuring illustrations of her designs from\u00a0<em>The Fall<\/em> &#8212; a 2006 film directed by Tarsem Singh, with whom she often collaborated.<\/p>\n<p>And Ishioka was a force to be reckoned with: born in 1938, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/technology\/0\/eiko-ishioka-designs-made-famous\/\">she made her mark in what was a very male-dominated industry<\/a>\u00a0but earned her big break when working for Parco, a Japanese department store, where her ads earned attention for being nothing like what the company had featured previously. From there, her career expanded: from ads to costume design to art directing, even winning a Grammy for her cover art for Miles Davis&#8217; 1986 record,\u00a0<em>Tutu<\/em>. Plus, she was the costume designer for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, which featured 15 000 performers and cost more than $100 million. In short, she was an artistic legend &#8212; which is exactly what Google should be using its Doodles for.<\/p>\n<p>In North America especially, the media remains super-enamoured with mainstream (read: white) culture. There&#8217;s an emphasis on white representation, which explains disasters like 2016&#8217;s Oscars So White and\/or why Disney is still somehow scrambling to cast an Aladdin &#8212; despite Bollywood being a multi-billion dollar industry, boasting incredible amounts of talent. So while very small, Google&#8217;s attempt to bring attention to a designer mainstream pop culture failed to properly celebrate, it does exactly what the internet and entities like Google should do: broaden the scopes of the audiences who are inundated and enamoured with the bubbles we live in.<\/p>\n<p>Which is what makes the debacle around the\u00a0<em>Aladdin<\/em>\u00a0live-action-movie so frustrating. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/heat-vision\/aladdin-movie-disney-struggles-find-stars-1019690\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> is making the quest for a lead seem like the hardest challenge in the world, with casting directors and director Guy Ritchie having reportedly sat through 2,000 auditions. There&#8217;s an emphasis on casting an &#8220;unknown,&#8221; but as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themarysue.com\/aladdin-casting-racism\/\">the Mary Sue pointed out<\/a>, the studio sat through 40,000 auditions to land their Harry Potter, making it seem like &#8220;the casting restriction to Middle-Eastern and Indian actors as unnecessary and burdensome.&#8221; Or, as they so succinctly said: &#8220;Bollywood exists. Riz Ahmed exists.\u00a0<em>Aladdin<\/em> the Broadway musical exists and is currently playing in cities around the world. The suggestion that there&#8217;s some dearth of Middle Eastern and Indian actors who can handle a movie musical is laughable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But here we are. So while the Google Doodle may seem like an insignificant effort to pay tribute to a woman who shaped a huge part of the fashion, art, music, and movie industries (because, like, holy shit), <em>clearly\u00a0<\/em>a good part of North America is in desperate need of cultural education. It&#8217;s not like anybody here&#8217;s about to bow down to Google, but hey: it does get kudos for using today properly &#8212; a.k.a. to introduce Eiko Ishioka to people who may not attribute her to movies like the Francis Ford Coppola-directed <em>Bram Stoker&#8217;s\u00a0Dracula <\/em>(for which she won the Oscar for costume designer, btw),<em>\u00a0<\/em>or understand why she was deemed to be such a rebel.
