Top 5 upsetting clothing lines history! Ahead of the 2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show air date, brand exec Ed Razek spoke to Vogue magazine about the annual spectacle and received plenty of criticism in return. Not only did he shade competing intimates brand ThirdLove ? which prompted founder Heidi Zak to take out a full-page, open-letter ad in The New York Times (above) ? he also implied that no one wanted to see a plus-size fashion show and didn’t think transgender models should be included on the runway because it “is a fantasy. It’s a 42-minute entertainment special.” (He later apologized for the remark.) Needless to say, plenty of folks on Twitter, including trans model Carmen Carrera, criticized both Razek and VS after the interview was published.
Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fall/Winter 1993 Collection, “Chic Rabbis” was what Jean Paul Gaultier labeled his Fall/Winter 1993 show because it was inspired by a trip to NYC where he encountered a group of rabbis leaving the New York Public Library. The designer said he loved the elegance of their dress with their hats and huge coats flapping in the wind but the collection came under fire for being culturally insensitive with specific complaints from Hasidic groups concerning female models in the show wearing traditionally masculine hairstyles and clothes.
Designers Refusing To Dress Melania Trump, After the election of Donald Trump, several designers grappled with how to handle dressing the new First Lady, Melania Trump. Sophie Theallet wrote a public letter stating that she would not be dressing Melania (despite the fact that she had done so for former First Lady Michelle Obama) because of her husband’s policies. Following the letter, other designers followed suit including Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs. For her first Presidential appearance at the inauguration, Melania ended up wearing an American designer, Ralph Lauren.
Held at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park, one of New York’s most spectacular sites, Kanye West’s now infamous show began with shuttle buses there and back. An hour and a half later, the bus riders joined the crowds and waited in shadeless 83 degree heat. The official start time was 3 PM, but it was not until 4:15 that the West family made their entrance and another 20 minutes before the first model strutted down the runway. The street-cast models were also said to have been standing, sitting and passing out in the middle of the runway. On top of this, the collection was generally agreed by reporters and fashion critics to have been as faded as the models. This could have been because they had been tortured for some hours prior to the show’s commencement, but the pale palette failed to inspire most viewers. West, however, said: “I want to make pieces that can be timeless”. It seems time was of the essence.
