What i dont get is who would even wear a sweater over the mouth like that? Why is that even cute?

Nahhhh.Apology not accepted...

Not cool!

Just remove the red lips 👄

Gucci did this on purpose to create hype around their dying brand. Now they are in the news and everyone is talking about them. Igniting moral outrage nowadays, equivalent to a sex tape in 2000s.

What about ski masks?will these be outlawed unless they are a bright color?

Why would Gucci make something like this....what are they trying to prove?!!!

I have black ski masks. They keep my face warm while skiing. The black ones are least expensive. Am I a racist now? Just asking.

Every black person should stop wearing white cos it’s a form of racist if whites can’t wear black. And round and round we go with this ridiculous leftist agenda

THE RISE OF BLACK DESIGNERS IS OCCURRING NOW FOR US BY US

does it still represent Black Face if a Black person wore it?

ma racism!

BRAVO!! BLACKS WONT BE PURCHASING THAT MESS NO MOE!! 🤦🏿‍♂️

It resembles nothing At all Remove that crap, whatever the reason

Someone needs to slap silly the person that created this. It’s sooo ugly!🤦‍♀️

ninjas wear masks like this minus the mouth section open. I mean seriously chill the fuck out crazy people. it's clothing not makeup. And yeah it looks stupid by default but seriously.

Liberals triggering liberals. Love it!

Not only offensive but Ugly as. I wouldn't even wear it to the toilet

Instead of discontinuing it because it’s just hideous?

Whereas a black sweater and black ski mask ...

Omg stop the madness, it’s a fucking sweater!

Can someone please apologize to me for the mistake I made for thinking that she was the next super villain? I'll wait.

Blacks are the ones constantly using racism. Wake up people. They need to accept black as a color just like grey. It wasn't racist

What is blackface?

'More like crooks, robbers, thieves and thugs!!!'

What about in white?

Good publicity gambit.

They shouldn't have made it anyway

Fugly, too.

Should be apologizing for selling an ugly sweater. Seriously...who would wear that thing? 🙄

I don’t understand this HYIP, because it’s just clothes. The one who is looking for a reason has one reason: to achieve fame. Did you know? Othello by Shakespeare was an Arab (yes, really) ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ Fanatic : 'Don't dare to paint it with black paint, your, theatrical racists!'

This is a joke. Nothing more. God help this country.

Does it come in other colors?

This is past ridiculous

I don’t know why but i am offended just in case.

I don’t care if it looks like blackface or not. They need to apologize for trying to sell it in the first place. Looks like one of those runway outfits everyone claps for but no real person would ever wear.

I mean it looks like those fetish clothes

Had a couple of black eyes in my life time.......Should I apologize.

Gucci should apologize for that ugly design! Was it supposed to keep that face warm?

They should also apologize for how ugly it is

I think it looks cool

Why did they sell such a thing in the first place

🤣

overstock sales at all outlets in Virginia 🤣

Instead of discontinuing it, just make white, red, blue, green and yellow ones. This will solve your “problem” 😂

It's a ridiculous looking sweater....

Ya think 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️ This isn’t a case of hypersensitivity. This isn’t false outrage. This isn’t coming from a cancel-crazy social media bandwagon. This is just careless, racist, blatantly disrespectful & deeply offensive. Someone, ANYONE, from Gucci should have known better! Change

On the other hand, Jolson just turned over...

Manufactured crisis this is......

Guess I won’t be getting that Gucci ski mask that I’ve been wanting since I was a kid that nobody was offended by since the beginning of time except for bank tellers.

Its also just a hideous design.

看來世界名牌向中國道歉還是有大環境支持的。

If everything is racist then nothing is racist.

Thank goodness!

They should apologize for selling something so god damn hideous

Stupid looking came to mind but not blackface. Why the hell would I came to mind but not blackface.

I’m offended. Not only is it ugly. Half is black and the other half is white...... wtf!

I guarantee this sweater was doing fine until Virginia. Tbh Comme Des Garçons should be more up in arms because it is a direct ripoff of their play logo.

😂 😂 😂 That’s so pathetic. The correct response from Gucci should have been “fu*k off, it’s a sweater!”

Gucci done lost they damn mind!!!

Cmon , this story’s been out there. You’re better than this

Makes a me sad because I love Gucci accessories and perfumes. gucci are you really sorry?

And WE DONT accept it....

Dumb- is it still racist if it’s green or purple?

And I have discontinued Gucci. I hope others join me.

TOO LATE RACISTS.... I pray you go belly up

People should also be asking the models name!

we don't care... we all know they did this for attention let's just ignore them and maybe they'll go away

We've lost our minds.

Thank you gucci and *THINK* next time‼️🙈🙊

Is anybody getting fired for this

The whole world is scared of blackface yet Congress helps medical providers kill millions of great Americans and everyone in Congress knows how many of these dead Americans are black even the black Congressman know

Both concepts drip abject stupidity

This resembles black face? WTF! It’s just a bad sweater

It's ugly af anyway. Wow

Good, it does resemble blackface.

Anyone who buys it must be blind or dumb. That sweater is hideous... lol

I seems that fashion is getting more weirder and weirder each year.

I guess commandos are in big trouble.

this is the funniest looking thing i've seen this year

is it considered 'blackface' if a bank robber robs a bank with a ski mask? asking for my friends sister

I wish this story would go away just like this hideous sweater did

How is is Gucci trendy it looks like garbage

It Looks more like Isys then it does black face that’s the first thing I thought

That doesnt look like blackface at all! If pic they're showing on this tweet is the one that they're claiming is blackface--it's clear that they were just trying to stay up with the fashion that is in with all those weird masks people are wearing like in The Purge. dramaqueens

gucci y’all knew this sweater wasn’t right from the get go

great for BL0WJ0B in the winter

😂

The uproar is stupid....did they have a red, purple, or white sweater? I’ve seen beard sweater masks....how is this any different? Heck, I used to pull my turtleneck up over my face in the cold.

gucci are a bunch of pu***’s

Nonsense.

😂😂😂

If I want to act like a black person or look like one I will anytime I feel like it. potus

What would possibly make them think this was remotely a good idea

Try this: Gucci has apologized and discontinued selling a sweater BECAUSE it resembles blackface.

Thanos wipe out Gucci
