Gucci Hires Head Of Diversity To Help Avoid More Stupid Mistakes

Gucci has hired Renée E. Tirado as its global head of diversity, equity and inclusion, following a host of controversial issues hitting the headlines in recent months. #Gucci has been in the firing line for a number of culturally insensitive acts recently, such as its culturally-appropriating Turban and polo neck sweater that resembled racist blackface tropes. Since, #DapperDan has broken down Gucci’s diversity plan and the fashion house introduced a three-tiered racial diversity initiative called Gucci Changemakers that “supports industry change and fosters unity through community action.”
