Alessandro Michele says the design was not inspired by blackface by performance artist Leigh Bowery
GUCCI'S CREATIVE director has broken his silence following the controversy over a $890 jumper that bares similarity to blackface.
Alessandro Michele, said that racism was never his intention and lamented in a letter to employees both his own pain and “that of the people who saw in one of my creative projects an intolerable insult.”
The black sweater went viral last week, after an image of a white model wearing the Gucci garment which was designed with a black pull-up neck featuring a cutout surrounded by cartoonish red lips.
