throwback to a party I attended years ago in Milan where almost everyone in the Milanese fashion system was in blackface, dressed as slaves and other racist shit. First pic is Dsquared Twins with this racist lawyer, 2nd designer Alessandro Del Acqua and well known fashion PRs

3rd pic is Carlo Mengucci PR of ETRO

Y’all really missed a shitshow.

the theme was disco africa omg what a fucking night, the dsquared twins in drag drunkenly called me a sexy n*gger in the bathroom

like no joke the white fashion gays were dressed as slaves slaves in shackles with friends whipping them, there were people dressed as African child soldiers with guns

Stefano Gabbana was surprisingly not so problematic that night

you can’t make this shit up

Our host for the evening fashion photographer Giampaolo Sgura known for his Vogue covers

Italian influencer Ale Magni in blackface

this guy in blackface is the social media manager at Versace ( the one who reaches out to all the white influencers for brand deals )

Luigi Pugliese the advertising manager at GQ ITALIA and L’UOMO Vogue

In full transparency I’m posting this “receipt” on myself for accountability. 2013 I was newly working in fashion PR and when I received the invitation I considered it my “acceptance” in to this exclusive white European fashion system. Feel free to drag me

you would think that 7 years later things would have changed in Milan but they haven’t. Since then I’ve screamed from every platform I have for the need for change but it falls on deaf ears. For the most part none of those people actually owned up to that fiasco

the crazy thing is that one of the organizers art director Marco Braga who later apologized did blackface just last year and when I called him out he blocked me

There’s a lot of shit I’ve seen in the last 10 years in Milan that needs to be addressed. They all need to stop acting like it’s only a US problem and extending their performative activism to that cause when they stay fucking up in their own community
