The Dark Side of Modeling
The Dark Side of Modeling
With its estimated annual revenue of $1.5 billion in the US and the global fashion industry valued at over $2.5 trillion, the industry offers significant financial potential.
Race- Absence and Aggression
Loewe apologized, removed related social media posts, and removed the merchandise from stores and online platforms. Loewe issued an apology via the brands Instagram account stating “It was brought to our attention that one of our looks featured in a magazine and part of our Arts and Crafts ceramicist William De Morgan could be misconstrued as referring to one of the most odious moments in the history of mankind,” the statement read. “It was absolutely never our intention and we apologize to anyone who might feel we were insensitive to sacred memories. The products featured have been removed from our commercial offering.”
Liz Kennedy, the model who walked the runway in the hoodie, slammed the style in a post addressing the brand and its chief creative officer, Riccardo Tisci. “Suicide is not fashion,” she said on Instagram. “Let’s not forget about the horrifying history of lynching either,” she added. Liz said she felt “extremely triggered” after seeing the design and felt “as though I was right back where I was when I was going through an experience with suicide in my family”. She informed her Instagram followers that she attempted to bring up the matter in the dressing room but was instructed to prepare a letter instead.
