Spike’s fashion statement

-

Director Spike Lee says he will no longer wear Gucci, right, or Prada until the brands hire some black designers, following a pair of blackface fashion fails. Lee said on Instagram Friday that “It’s Obvious To Da Peoples That They Don’t Have A Clue When It Comes To Racist, Blackface Hateful Imagery. WAKE UP.” Gucci this week apologized for a high-neck black wool sweater that featured bright red lips when pulled over the face, while Prada apologized for a monkey bag charm resembling blackface in December.
