Gucci has been berated for its new sweater-balaclava which is claimed to be racist by many social media users.
The well known Italian luxury fashion house Gucci has found itself in hot water after the releases of a new sweater-balaclava product which resembles racist old fashioned blackface makeup.
Since receiving backlash, Gucci has now withdrawn the item and has offered a public apology via Twitter.
This comes in the same week the Hollywood superstar Liam Neeson confessed a racial premised shameful act he committed a few decades ago, which you can read more about here.
