Burberry Apologizes for ‘Insensitivity’ Following Criticism for Controversial Hoodie

LONDON — Burberry has unreservedly apologized for sending a sweater onto its fall 2019 runway that appears to have a noose around the neck. Both Marco Gobbetti, the brand’s chief executive officer, and Riccardo Tisci, the brand’s chief creative officer, expressed regret at what they referred to as a genuine mistake.
On Sunday night, following the Burberry show, model Liz Kennedy criticized the brand on Instagram for sending out a brown hoodie that appeared to feature a noose. The item, which had the image of a sailor’s rope, in tune with the “Tempest” theme of the show, has since been removed from the collection.
“Suicide is not fashion,” the model wrote in the caption. “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 OK to do this, especially in a line dedicated to young girls and youth.”

While Deneuve was already an established actress in France before getting into modeling, her role as the face of Chanel No.5 brought her to international recognition in the Seventies, which reportedly increased sales of the fragrance dramatically. Deneuve paved the way for other actresses to become the face of the fragrance, like Nicole Kidman in 2005 and Marilyn Monroe in 2013 with repurposed footage and quotes from the Fifties and Sixties.
13. Inès de la Fressange

Because of her resemblance to Coco Chanel, de la Fressange became one of Lagerfeld’s long-term muses after signing the first exclusive modeling contract with Chanel in 1983. The two had a public falling out in 1989, which de la Fressange has stated was caused by Lagerfeld’s disdain for her boyfriend-turned-husband Luigi D’Urso. Lagerfeld and de
