Ah there's a difference between a ski mask and this thing in the OP with the big red lips etc but anyway I have no doubt Gucci knew exactly what they were doing anyway

[Lostie!]

Bye what the ****

So let me get this straight... it's not actually meant to be blackface, it doesn't cover the whole face... so is actually completely different from that... but just in case someone, somewhere, might have an issue with it, we're banning it.

FFS, make it a different colour if people are so touchy. Because while people are wasting energy on this non-story, there are real injustices going on in the world.

You could be right.Alot of brands are wise to the fact that they can use the snowflake generation as a marketing resource.Light the blue touch paper and wait for the publicity.
As for ski masks.It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if someone called them blackface or some other nonsense.

Pretty much, if the jumper was green no one would have an issue

Bit of a waste of money though, to make something to then have it removed from the shelves...and the old saying any publicity is good publicity just don't wash these days...specially not when it's an accusation of racism.

I just don't believe a company like Gucci would have no employee working there who might have said "ummm lets just think about this for a second" can you just imagine all the people who clicked into their site to see the item and then while they were there decided to have a quick look around? It's free advertising

these things always go to test groups of the general public before release. There is no doubt they knew exactly what reaction it would get

Absolutely, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd actually had a meeting to think up what they could do that would cause an outrage like that

[RileyH]

Wouldn't wear anything from Gucci tbh

[armand.kay]

These companies have realised that the profit outweighs the harm when it comes to black outrage. Gucci knew what they were doing. I'm not giving this anymore time.

that thing is ugly as ****

The colour is what makes me believe Gucci knew exactly what they wanted it to look like. Nothing more than a bit of attention seeking and free advertising for them.

We'll look at Lulu Guinness next... the racist bitch.

Didn’t minstrels have white chalk colour lips...not red?
Maybe they do the jumper in different colours but this one was jumped on.
