O nouă gafă în lumea modei: Burberry a lansat hanoracul cu ştreang

Burberry a inclus în noua colecţie, prezentată la Săptămâna Modei de la Londra, un hanorac cu ştreang, obiect vestimentar pentru care a fost mustrată, iar compania britanică s-a scuzat, recunoscând că a greşit.

@burberry @riccardotisci17 Suicide is not fashion. It is not glamorous nor edgy and since this show is dedicated to the youth expressing their voice, here I go. Riccardo Tisci and everyone at Burberry it is beyond me how you could let a look resembling a noose hanging from a neck out on the runway. How could anyone overlook this and think it would be okay to do this especially in a line dedicated to young girls and youth. The impressionable youth. Not to mention the rising suicide rates world wide. Let’s not forget about the horrifying history of lynching either. There are hundreds of ways to tie a rope and they chose to tie it like a noose completely ignoring the fact that it was hanging around a neck. A massive brand like Burberry who is typically considered commercial and classy should not have overlooked such an obvious resemblance. I left my fitting extremely triggered after seeing this look (even though I did not wear it myself). Feeling as though I was right back where I was when I was going through an experience with suicide in my family. Also to add in they briefly hung one from the ceiling (trying to figure out the knot) and were laughing about it in the dressing room. I had asked to speak to someone about it but the only thing I was told to do was to write a letter. I had a brief conversation with someone but all that it entailed was “it’s fashion. Nobody cares about what’s going on in your personal life so just keep it to yourself” well I’m sorry but this is an issue bigger than myself. The issue is not about me being upset, there is a bigger picture here of what fashion turns a blind eye to or does to gain publicity. A look so ignorantly put together and a situation so poorly handled. I am ashamed to have been apart of the show. #burberry. I did not post this to disrespect the designer or the brand but to simply express an issue I feel very passionate about.

Între vocile critice la adresa Burbbery s-a numărat şi cea a modelului Liz Kennedy, care a prezentat la Londra pentru Burberry. Ea a scris pe Instagram: „Sinuciderea nu este modă. Să nu uităm nici de oribila istorie a linşajului”.

Şeful companiei, Marco Gobbetti, a spus că regretă neplăcerile create şi că „a fost o insensibilitate şi am făcut o greşeală”.

Hanoracul a fost inclus în colecţia dedicată tinerilor „Tempest”, realizată de directorul de creaţie Riccardo Tisci, care a fost prezentată duminică.

Gobbetti a adăugat că cele scrise de Kennedy „nu reflectă cine suntem ori valorile noastre”.

„Vom reflecta asupra acestui caz, vom învăţa din el şi vom lua toate măsurile pentru a nu se repeta”.

Ricardo Tisci s-a scuzat la rândul lui: „Având în vedere că designul a fost inspirat de tema nautică, mi-am dat seama că a fost insensibil”.

Burberry este a treia mare companie de modă implicată în scandaluri de la începutul acestui an. La începutul lunii februarie, brandul de lux Gucci a retras de la vânzare un obiect vestimentar, un pulover din lână care acoperea partea de jos a feţei şi era decupat în zona gurii, unde ţesătura imita buze roşii, care a fost considerat de mulţi jignitor. În ianuarie, Prada a retras un accesoriu care se încadra aceluiaşi stereotip.
