Gucci Releases a Racially Insensitive Sweatshirt

[travestyny]

I get what yiur saying. The distinction however is that these ******ia politicians are from the south where blackface was rampant and obvious. Gucci is an Italian company and employees primarily Italian designers. Blackface is not part of their history so not as obvious.

In certain it wasn’t a racist intent. Gucci is collaborating with Dappler Dan and made it first release last year. They are even collabing with dapper dan with the reopening dapper dans studio...in HARLEM.

I hear you, and I don't disagree with that at all. I think that's Spike's point, that he wishes they had someone on their team who could have been like....um....maybe this isn't a good idea because... lol

In this date and age even if they did not mean nothing by it I just don't know how that past a board and they were like "yeah lets release this".

The red lips are...disturbing.

Is it only me, but was it wrong to think about getting an oral from that model wearing that outfit? Them red lips.....and the glasses...kinky. Very kinky.

All of the resident SJWs here were eerily silent over the ******ia politicians wearing black face and Joy Behar, yet here they are all spun up over an ugly sweater all because their pied piper Spike “Racist” Lee tells them they need to be angry about it. Perhaps this is just a marginal filmmakers way of trying to cling to some form of relevancy. As if he has much if any influence on the success of Gucci or Prada, which are tacky brands for rich or faux rich douchebags anyway. Most people wearing those brands are likely buying knockoffs made in Southeast Asia.

They knew exactly what they were doing! Soulja boys viral interview of him wearing gucci is a bad look for the brand. Like Burberry, Gucci does not want it's brand to be associated with what it deems the lower classes of society i.e chavs and african american/hip hop culture. These brands burn old inventory so it doesn't make it's way to low income shops where people could afford them.

how is this even fashionable?

Does kinds look like blackface. The more offensive part is that it looks dumb.

The fashion world is bizarre....

I wouldve thought it was a homemade Halloween Venom costume.
