Samoubistvo nije u modi – čemu onda omča kao modni detalj?!

Ubrzo je uslijedilo izvinjenje zbog dukserice s kapuljačom koja, sama po sebi, nije sporna, osim ukrasa koji je više nego takav – omče oko vrata.

“Samoubistvo nije u modi. Ne zaboravimo ni strašnu istoriju linčovanja”, komentar je manekenke Liz Kenedi (Kennedy), koji je, uz fotografiju spornog modnog detalja, postavila na svoj Instragram profil.

@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.

Marko Gobeti (Marco Gobbetti), direktor kuće Burberry,  se nakon toga posuo pepelom, izjavivši da im je žao što su uznemirili javnost: “Greška koju smo napravili je neprimjerena”.

U odbranu Burberry časti je stao i kreativni direktor Rikardo Tiši (Riccardo Tisci), poručivši da je ova kreacija zapravo inspirisana morem te namijenjana mladima, odnosno mladim buntovnicama.

“Kako neko može da pomisli da je ovaj potez u redu, posebno kada je dukserica namijenjena mladima? Posebno kada broj samoubistava među mladima raste”, osvrnula se na to u svom komentaru Liz te dodala da sporna duksericu nije “glamurozna, niti pomjera granice mode”.

Nastavak priče kaže da mnoge, očito, nije briga šta se ljudima dešava u privatnim životima, dok god je moda u pitanju. I dok god se dobro prodaje, donosi publicitet i profit.

A kad smo već na kod Nedjelje mode u Londonu i pričamo o politički korektnim i ostalim tokovima koji ovih dana pristižu iz modnog svijeta, sigurno bi kao dobra lekcija mogla da posluži revija Vivijen Vestvud (Vivienne Westwood), koja za predstojeću sezonu jesen/zima 2019. predlaže da preuzmemo kontrolu u svoje ruke.

Modna veteranka je svojom kolekcijom, namijenjom i ženama i muškarcima, iskoristila pistu da nas podsjeti iznova na ono što je zaista bitno – slobodu govora, globalno otopljenje, demokratiju…

Jer, nešto mijenjati možemo samo mi, voklane životinje iliti Homo Loquax, kako je i naslovljen ovaj vizuelni šamar od revije, mi koji jedini imamo moć da prihvatimo fakte koje govore da polako ubijamo planetu i da treba nešto da učinimo, još danas. Sada.

Vivijen je, iako je u pitanju modna revija, savjetovala da kupujemo manje, a biramo više. Da čuvamo i očuvamo, ne samo konzumiramo. Jer, smrt planete je izgleda cijena ekonomskog rasta i razvoja.

“Uporno kupujemo s**nja. Rečeno nam je tokom jednog od najvažnijih modnih događaja. I šta tu onda nije jasno?”, poručila je.

Za kraj je saopštila da je sav prihod prikupljen ovom prilikom namijenjen u dobrotvorne svrhe. I ovo nije prvi put da nas ova žena oduševi i šokira u isto vrijeme, sasuvši nam istinu u lice.

I zaista, toliko je toga za upiti sa ove revije. Uostalom, pogledajete sami:
