Burberry se opravičuje za "samomorilsko" jopico z zanko #video

"Samomor ni moda," je svoje ogorčenje na Instagramu prva izrazila prav Burberryjeva manekenka Liz Kennedy, ki je znamko predstavljala na preteklem tednu mode. Bila je ogorčena, ko je videla, da je britanska modna hiša v svojo kolekcijo, poimenovano Tempest in posvečeno mladini, vključila jopico z zanko za obešanje.

"Ni ne glamurozno ne drzno"

Na neprimernost je opozorila že v zaodrju, a so ji pri znamki rekli, da je to "pač moda", Dodali so, da "nikomur ni mar, kaj se dogaja v njenem zasebnem življenju in da naj to zadrži zase" ali pa napiše pismo. In ga je. Objavila ga je na Instagramu:

"Ni ne glamurozno ne drzno, in ker naj bi bila ta kolekcija namenjena mladim in njihovemu izražanju, tule je moje. Riccardo Tisci in vsi preostali pri Burberryju, sanja se mi ne, zakaj ste na brv spustili takšen videz. Kako je lahko nekdo mislil, da je to v redu? /.../ Sploh ker število samomorov po vsem svetu le narašča. /.../ Naj še omenim, da so eno zanko celo spustili s stropa, da bi preučili vozel, ob tem pa so se v garderobi še smejali. /.../ Sram me je, da sem bila del tega šova."

@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.

Marco Gobbetti, vodja znamke, se je takoj odzval na njen zapis, se opravičil in dodal: "To je bilo brezčutno, naredili smo napako." Opravičil se je tudi kreativni direktor Riccardo Tisci.

Pod plazom zgroženih kritik se je pred kratkim znašla tudi znamka Gucci, in sicer zaradi puloverja, ki spominja na karikirane maske Afroameričanov, t. i. blackface. Le dan po tem so kritizirali še pevko Katy Perry, ker je pod svojim imenom lansirala kolekcijo, katere del so bili čevlji, ki so na podoben način kot Gucci žalili Afroameričane.
