Let’s talk about revolting fashion collections! Fashion doesn’t have the greatest track record when it comes to blackface. Every year, it seems a new blackface controversy surfaces, with a new model at the center. This year, it was Gigi Hadid, who appeared on the cover of Vogue Italia sporting what some saw as a suspiciously dark tan. As BBC pointed out, many of Hadid’s followers were quick to point out her darkened appearance in the image, which was shot by Steven Klein. Others flat out called the image blackface. The criticism prompted the 23-year-old model to apologize. She shared a statement on Twitter along with a photo of herself post-shoot, with bronze makeup still on her face.

John Galliano’s Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2000 Collection, “Haute Homeless”, For John Galliano’s Dior Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2000 show, he created a collection based on the homeless Parisians he encountered while running along the Seine. To that end, he presented a bricolage collection of shredded and tattered couture garments that had found objects like mini whiskey bottles and kitchen utensils strung along the models’ waists. Many found homelessness to be a distasteful theme for a haute couture collection where dresses can go for upwards of $50,000 and the resulting criticism prompted Galliano to apologize for upsetting so many, stating that it was not meant to offend but rather celebrate the style of the homeless people he encountered in Paris.

Kendall + Kylie Jenner Selfie “Vintage” Band Tees, Kendall and Kylie Jenner’s eponymous clothing line has had its ups and downs this year. The sisters found themselves in the center of a firestorm of controversy after releasing “vintage” band t-shirts that featured their faces photoshopped over music legends. Not only did many people find the designs offensive and morally reprehensible, apparently Kendall and Kylie didn’t have legal permission to use most of the images either.

As we’ve mentioned, McQueen was pretty obviously one of the greatest provocateurs in the fashion industry, so it’s no surprise that another one of his shows makes this list. At his Fall/Winter 1995 show, the shocks began with the show’s title, and pretty much continued from there. McQueen’s models were sent out bruised and battered, wearing tattered clothes of tartan and lace. Evocative of the designer’s personal and design background in lower-class east London’s lacemaking and Punk history, the show also garnered criticism for what was perceived by some as the fetishization of violence against women. Ever resistant of literal interpretations, McQueen threw another punch back, claiming that the show was meant to represent the ethnic cleansing of the Scottish Highlands by British soldiers during the 18th and 19th centuries. The ensuing controversy upset the notoriously sensitive designer. Far from glamorizing violence and objectification of women, McQueen argued, his intention was to design clothes that empowered women. “That really p***ed me off, being called a misogynist,” he said.
