However, not everyone appreciated the innovation and rushed to "fight stereotypes". Therefore, TV presenter and comedian Simon Thompson decided to conduct an experiment, walk around London in a similar dress during the day and see the reaction of the citizens. He did not want to spend money on a branded thing and bought an inexpensive analogue.
