The turban not a fashion item |
Gucci 2018/2019 collection at the Milan Fashion Week would`ve attracted the attention of fashionistas and those closely associated with the fashion world. However, one accessory that the luxury brand chose to accentuate its outfits has created a major furor. The fashion giant put turbans – which is one of Sikh`s five articles of faith – as an accessory on a host of white models and is now drawing flak on social media. And not just turbans, it also used hijabs and elaborate headgears to showcase its collection. Sikh Coalition tweeted that the Sikh turban is a sacred article of faith, and not a mere fashion accessory. San Jose, Calif-based Punjabi YouTuber, who posts videos under the stage name Gurpy Colors O, blasted the brand for using the Sikh religious symbol, calling the act “unacceptable and offensive.”
