버버리, 패션쇼서 올가미 장식 후드 옷 선보였다 비판받아

자살 연상시킨다는 지적…결국 CEO가 사과하고 해당 제품 폐기했다고 밝혀

버버리가 패션쇼에 선보인 옷에 포함된 장식이 '자살을 연상시킨다'는 비판에 휩싸였다. 버버리 CEO는 사과 성명을 내고 해당 제품을 제거하기로 했다.

버버리는 지난 17일(현지시각) 영국 런던 패션 위크에서 2019 가을·겨울 제품을 공개했다. 버버리가 이날 공개한 옷 중 문제가 된 건 후드에 올가미 모양 끈을 단 옷이었다. 목에 올가미가 걸려있는 형태라 자살이나 사형을 연상시킨다는 지적이 나왔다.

패션쇼에 참여한 모델 중 한 명인 리즈 케네디(Liz Kennedy)는 패션쇼 직후 인스타그램에서 "자살은 패션이 아니다"라며 버버리를 비판하는 글을 올렸다. 케네디는 "어떻게 목을 매다는 올가미를 연상시키는 모습을 런웨이에 올릴 수 있는지 나로서는 상상도 못 할 일이다"고 했다.

@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.
