I'd say that Burberry destroying its own merchandise to minimize the surplus and resale markets (thus keeping the brand more elite) is pretty damn outrageous, if not downright evil.

[@ilovelauragrant]

I worked for them in HQ, they now do big staff sample sales… and when I mean big I mean big… I got a handbag worth a lot for under 50 pounds/ which I was not complaining about

I agree

It is legal, although might not be ethical. It is their own merchandise. They can do whatever they please with it.

[@landsealifestyle3403]

A lot of large fashion houses do it!

[@aznzensation]

D&G still irks me to this day, they’re so disgustingly hypocritical

[@jbak87]

They were right though. The ASSIMILATION movement embraced by the gay community is regressive and troubling.

[@SAINTOBVIOUS]

fantastic photography tho 🤷🏻‍♂️

​@@SAINTOBVIOUS 🤦🏻‍♀️ - Yeah....guess that legitimises it. BTW....Harvey Weinstein made Oscar-winning films; Bill Cosby was funny; Bernie Madoff made some people very, very rich; Hilter helped boost the sales of hair gel; Mussollini made black shirts fashionable....

[@amazonabebot]

D&G’s spaghetti chopsticks, Alexander Wang’s predatory behaviour, Demna for Balenciaga CP and John Galliano for Dior Nazi Hitler video are the most memorable, special mention is Karl Lagerfeld’s comment about Adele “little fat” and body weight about models

[@lowe-quay-shush]

The originator of 'Balenciaga' wouldn't concieve the kind of crap that label puts out as 'Balenciaga'. Shameful.

[@kazior6521]

No, he just catered to dictators.

[@doriangraye1971]

Surprised the circa 1993 Calvin Klein campaign didn't come up with the child porn controversy.

[@wuraolaolagunju]

This needs to be a top 20 for this list.

[@martijnkeisers5900]

Cristobal Balenciaga keeps on turning in his grave..

[@richardmacleod5253]

Miu Miu ad campaign with Mia Goth that was banned in UK. Kate Moss aged 15 was topless for The Face Magazine. Prada sacking female employees who complained about sexual harrasment French Vogue using 10yrs old model for photo shoot. Dior and Armarni using sweat shops in Italy. Bags made for £50 selling for £3000. Sweat shops in general. One reporter stated that most of the designer bags she saw in Harvey Nicks were made in China ect.

[@KaleidoSTARPH]

that Balenciaga one is just one sick intentional campaign and it still haunts me their apology is just they were caught on act of them shoving their agenda on our throats

[@mf-zj3ss]

I think the Peter Nygard scandal was really bad. I was expecting to see it on this list.

Balenciaga should've been #1 or 2..!! Yall should do a part 2 or " Fashion Crimes part 2 "

[@keepingitclassy443]

John Casablancas, the founder of Elite Models, had relationships with several underage models who were signed to Elite, the most well-known being Stephanie Seymour when she was 15.

[@Betterthingswecanachieve]

I’d say an ongoing scandal would be how many big fashion houses use so much unpaid labour abroad and from students etc. They act as though you’ll get experience but they’re just running through as many willing workers because they can’t skimp on big locations for shows or parties.

[@The.Butterfly.Effect.530]

The Balenciaga scandal should have been in the top 3. Yall also should have reported about how the karjenners still supported the brand WHILE allowing their kids to be apart of those disturbing child predator ads.

[@peterlangendorff9846]

Galliano in ruins? 😹 He’s producing the best work in Paris at Margiela.

[@re7416]

Guess "best" is relative....

[@peterlangendorff9846]

@@re7416 well according to basically every fashion editor out there. His last show is considered the best of the season.

[@dariamorgendorffer7813]

It's weird that Terry Richardson isn’t on the list of scandals or that Jean-Luc Brunel & Gérald Marie weren't on the list too. Also, Victoria's Secret is part of the fashion world. Why wasn't it on the list?

[@dakotac180]

Anything involving kids, racism or sexual assault I think it's ridiculous people even still buy into these brands. I don't think fashion weeks should even be a thing, if you can't upcycle a product to re-imagine something new then we shouldn't be putting anything on display. Our society is filled with such disgusting consumerism its distracted people and in some cases turned them into greedy monsters.

[@jbak87]

I am shocked at the number clothing companies out there. I see all these shows and wonder, "who buys these stuff? I never anyone wear most of these clothes." A lot of unsold clothes get destroyed to protect "the brand."

[@keithc.bevins926]

Why is it that John Galliano and Mark Jacobs continue to look more the same year after year.? Lol I think they’re the same person!

[@user-fg4xb7tz2e]

Marc Jacob’s got Plastic Surgery. Did you see him at the Met Gala? Then look at the older pictures. It’s very noticeable but whoever performed his surgery done well. You can barely tell (if not for the photographs). It’s not like a Madonna situation where she got plastic surgery and it had to let it settle for months and now she looks good again. 😮

[@Ryan-ro4kp]

I thought I was the only one who thought that thank you for showing me I’m not crazy 😂

[@re7416]

​@user-fg4xb7tz2e 🤣 "if not for the photographs" | Someone's been spending too much time indoors. ● Shortly after his face-lift plus...(in his own words "extras"...Mark Jacobs gave an indepth interview to Vanity Fair in which he spoke freely and openly about his surgery; why he had it done; how long his recovery was; how much he paid; and even gave the name of his surgeon. ● So, hardly a guarded secret. And only discernable by scrutinising pap photos. ● Ur comment proves one thing, though 👍🏼 ● Namely, if celebrities would be open about their CS...like Marc has been...the item becomes a "non-issue." ● To the point where that particular celebrity's CS isn't even mentioned by the press when they have to write about him or her. ● As there's nothing 4 the press to "expose." Said celebritiy has already made it public. So, the press simply move on. ● BTW...how's JLo doing these days...🤔 (😉😉🤣🤣)

[@jbak87]

​@@user-fg4xb7tz2e Mark even admitted to having plastic surgery.

[@aaronjanlistanco]

importantly no the country Bangladesh that several fashion houses are made in Bangladesh on the process of manufacturing that one building collapsed after due the heavy weights of the fashion items just stucked on the building so many been died and some miserable employees had been wounded.. and there's more some employees said they're been in slavery, unpaid, mistreated from bigger bosses and no sanitary licensed.. some European news outlets been delivered this news and I'll bet France been covered this up so why it's not been a big news around the world

[@capricemadrid5353]

What about Marchesa?

[@joshbeaudry7633]

8:28 that girls hair on the right is absolutely stunning I cannot

[@nco1970]

I thought it would be scandals related to exploitation of workforce in some countries (especially children), endangerment of models (especially health with irresponsible regimes), issues of intellectual property,... It seems to me that you have chosen topics which are not only scandals but have made the deadlines.

[@aaronjanlistanco]

no Shein?.. for copying all the designs details of an specific fashion items from the lesser known fashion designers and lesser known fashion houses

[@printsphinx257]

Gucci copying Dapper Dan after should have been one too

[@SAINTOBVIOUS]

while some of these “scandals” are indeed warranted, I do think some on this list were completely blown out of proportion I won’t go into which ones, but a majority of those on this list feel like some were trying to make a ocean out of a raindrop

John Galliano is still employed after the Antisemitic slash.. John Galliano is still the Creative Director & the fashion designer at MANSION MARGIELA

[@reenakemp9132]

He is a fanatsastic designer though. Love his art. Try to separate the art from the artist. If you can't do that then I'm sure music isn't for you, I have no doubt your fave musician is a terrible person.

[@flazeda8743]

Well he was fired from Dior, also lost his own brand I believe then went on a forced hiatus for many years before to come back... People can change, he paid his fees and lost a lot professionally... No need to punish him forever imo, mainly when he was so missed in fashion!

Well it’s a good thing that we don’t need the opinion of Dolce & Gabbana m0rons. Also, I wonder if Gucci’s diversity and inclusion changes have gone the way of Facebook’s and other companies. They decreased those programs by 40% now that it’s not in the news anymore and it’s not the “in” thing to do apparently.

[@jbak87]

They were insensitive and disrespectful, but they were still right though. Gay is gay, and straight is straight. Parenthood was designed by nature for straight people.

Ironic how Galliano was cancelled for being anti-Semitic but now people are being lauded for being just that.

[@butterfliesinmybrain]

Speaking up because 1sr43l is committing g3n0c1d3 isn’t being antisemitic. If you think it is, you aren’t a good person. If you don think a g3n0c1d3 is happening, your view of reality is very skewed. Whatever it is, it’s a problem.

Condemning Israel 's expantionists policies is not anti-Semitic.

Its crazy, a designer criticized Jewish ppl y’all cancel his career. Gucci makes fun of black ppl and yall just stop buying for a couple of weeks

[@SMakhdoom]

Why D&G's stance is a big deal? I also believe gay couples raising children is unnatural and unethical. Anyone homosexual is responsible for their own lives, but they have no right effecting the psychology of young lives into thinking that gay parents or couples are natural. Those children are raised into thinking a false world.

Except John Galliano is now still regarded as a genius and is working for LVHM who is owned by a Jewish family so... guess it's not that big a deal when you bring in the big bucks!

[@zsuzsanna227]

Galliano works for Maison Margiela, owned by OTB, not LVMH. He is a genius as a fashion designer, which doesn't necessarily mean he is a good person, but doesn't mean he isn't either. When he said those horrible things, he was very drunk, so what he said may not be what he actually believes, and many people who know him stood by him and said he wasn't anti-semitic. Based on the recent documentary about him (High & Low: John Galliano) I believe it was the alcohol that made him say those things, not his beliefs, but I can be wrong, of course.
