The situation became even more tense when the Director of Vogue – Gilbert Cheah personally left an unpleasant comment about Cardi B’s statement. The CEO commented: “For the record and recognition, and no thanks to Cardi B, the designer of her gown is Sensen Lii who’s Chinese. The gown took two months to make. I personally think it’s boring and not even on theme but she chose it and should have at least remembered his name and not just that he’s “Asian”
