Last month, Gucci’s spring-summer 2020 presentation in Milan made headlines after designer Alessandro Michele sent straitjacket-like blouses down the runway—which model YaYa Bones protested by writing, “Mental health is not fashion,” on their palms and journeying down Michele’s conveyor belt with their hands up and visible to the crowd and photographers. Fast forward a few weeks and fashionable people with a much more keen eye than myself noticed another interesting choice: some of the models wore “shackle-like ankle bracelets” or “electronic monitors” complete with what appeared to be “gold bullets, which in fact are Gucci Beauty lipsticks,” according to the Hollywood Reporter. Glamorizing both mental illness and house arrest in one collection has got to be some sort of record, right?
