'I want to use this opportunity to remind people that this sort of bravery, is only a simple gesture compared to the bravery that people with mental health issues show every day.'

For Gucci's spring/summer 2020 show there is one model that caught the attention of many from the silent protest she made on the runway.

"The support people have shown to my act is more than I could imagine, so I only trust that we will share this same support to our friends, siblings, loved ones, acquaintances, internet friends or even strangers, who might be going through tough times with their Mental Health," she continued. In an earlier Instagram post, Tan-Jones further explained,"As an artist and model who has experienced my own struggles with mental health, as well as family members and loved ones who have been affected by depression, anxiety, bipolar and schizophrenia, it is hurtful and insensitive for a major fashion house such as Gucci to use this imagery as a concept for a fleeting fashion moment."

Put her in a rubber room.

Enough with this story already.

Oh lighten up

they're also used by contortionist escape artists Houdini da real makaveli!

I would protest too! I mean straight jackets? Not a very nice approach to mental health that has no preference! If Gucci had thought about it, this is absolutely ridiculous! Depression trauma, disease neurotransmitter issues in back of brain don’t go back and forth right!

Or could have quit and not wear it 🤷

A PHOTO FROM MY ART SHOW, PLUS I HAVE BEEN INSTITUTIONALIZED, TWICE.

Judo? Lol New, Skool Judo? Or same Ol' Judo? I like Judo.

Now do guys wearing makeup and/or dresses.

It kinda is, it's just it's DISTASTEFUL fashion.

Yet she still walked and collected that check . Real integrity lol

Ah, yes. When I need advice on how to think/ feel/ act this is typically always I turn to. The opinions of the runway model.

Especially, anorexia. Get a clue.

Straight jacket? Looks like a jumpsuit worn by mechanics, farmers, welders, pilots...

Oh 🖕🏻 her

mentalhealth

Gucci is as fake as the Donald...seems to me.

Fashion design has gotten extremely lazy, if they think straightjackets are high fashion...someone must have been high when this project was approved.

Serious first world shit right there.

Lol! straitjacket design... and yet he or she shows a message written on his or her hands.

🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Why is Joe Biden above the law?

Excellent career move...

Hmmm

After the blackface sweater, now this? Come on gucci, pushing limits is one thing, but blatant insensitivity isn’t on-trend. upyourgame mentalhealthmatters

What's brave about it?,are they dodging bullets in Afghanistan are they extracting innocent civilians from a heavy hostile territory.What is brave about this or feminism in general.Being strong is being strong.its not bravery. Standing up for urself isnt bravery. Its self respect

That right to be accepted as who we are is a personal choice not to be made fun off by none understand that being handy Capp in anyway is not made to be put on the any runway keep yah personal agenda insults off the runway k

I find this entire national/global mental health campaign troubling; Trump uses it as a political weapon against the purportedly 'crazy' people who criticize him. There is, literally, no scientific proof (such that it equates (=)) to substantiate even one named mental illness.

Brave and amazing woman! Well done to her for this. 👏🏼

The bravest

Not a good seller of this material Gucci made for this model it’s represents bondage abuse not a good look for Gucci it reminds us all of Epstein pedofillia mentality

So much bravery

Bravery

But she still took the job and got paid. Hypocrite much?

she must hadn’t seen Gucci’s track record.

Twit

Uhh what

That’s not at all brave

Omg so totally brave 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

GTFOH......these models wearing refrigerators and tampons on their feet walking runways, but now theres a problem?

Better replace them with immigrants

So why did she participate at all, if she didnt like the 'fashion'.?

Declamation of character arrest them all!

Gucci Model Talks About Transforming the Runway Into a ProtestOn a runway in Milan, Gucci designer Alessandro Michele sent models in crisp, white straightjacket-esque shirts and workwear down a mint-green conveyor belt. The clothes, the (now-deleted) show notes explained, would not be sold commercially, and instead were meant to “represent how through fashion, power is exercised over life, to eliminate self-expression.” A few moments after the parade of white, the lights went out. When they returned, 89 looks typical to Michele’s flamboyant style were presented; his “antidote” to the repressive fashion climate Gucci supposedly operates in. If you blinked, you might have missed a model holding their hands up in protest.
