Online commenters have reacted with ire against comments by Bruno Pavlovsky, saying Chanel will stick with DJ Michel Gaubert in a WWD interview.
LONDON — Online commenters have reacted with ire against comments by Bruno Pavlovsky, president of fashion and president of Chanel SAS, saying the French fashion house will stick with DJ Michel Gaubert after he apologized over showcasing slanty-eyed paper masks on social media that were decried as racist by industry influencers, including Susanna Lau and Bryan Grey Yambao.
“We know Michel well. He’s a fine man with real values, so there’s no reason for us not to continue our collaboration with him, which stretches back over many years,” Pavlovsky added. “The truth is the news didn’t blow up in China because the flagrant yellow-masking at a dumb party hurt people of Chinese/ESEA diaspora in the West more in the context of the increasingly violent crimes that are STILL happening in the U.S. and the rise of hate crimes everywhere else,” she added.
Lau also confessed that she is not “in the fortunate position to be boycotting brands in a hard stance.”“I don’t believe in cancel culture but to that end, I felt it too soon and have yet to see accountability from Michel Gaubert,” she wrote.
