Yesterday, some of the most prominent fashion names headed to the Capitoline Museum in Rome to look closely at Gucci's 2020 screening, where creative director Alessandro Michele devoted a lot of freedom, especially to women's rights with abortion.
The right of women to make decisions about their body was one of Gucci's clothing outcomes, inspired by the sensational events in Alabama , where 25 Republican men adopted the bill stopping abortion in Alabama, stressing that they are no exception rape and incest (the only cases where abortion is legal in Alabama are whether the patient's life is at risk or if the fetus suffers from abnormalities incompatible with life).
From the event in Alabama and across the United States, Gucci's wardrobe was embroidered in a womb as well as the 1970's feminist slogan, "My Body, My Choice."

"The show echoes the constant vision of the creative director associated with freedom, equality and self-expression," says Istagram of the luxury brand. "Gucci has a continuous commitment to fund projects around women worldwide to support sexual and reproductive rights, mother health and individual freedom."

In addition to these, there were not even the details inspired by Ancient Rome, the Hercules jewels, and the pieces dressed in nuns.
In February of this year, the Italian luxury brand was severely criticized for launching the balaclava blouse - a narrow garment covering the whole head and neck except facial parts - which resembled blackface.
Offending. Blackface is a form of theater teasing practiced about 200 years ago in the US by non-colored actors. They began painting their faces in black to mock the Africans. These performances gained popularity in the 19th century and had a powerful and ~ negative influence on the spread of racist stereotypes.
Gucci apologized by emphasizing that the shirt would be removed immediately. "We consider diversity a fundamental value to be backed up, respected and relevant to every decision we make."
While in early May, the creative director launched the line with lipstick, which he used the "crude" beauty, brought in a slightly different way. "The idea of the campaign is a representation as close to reality as human as strange," Michelle said at a press conference. "But even the odd is human, beautiful."
