The top officers of the fashion giant Burberry are apologizing for clothing a model in a hoodie with a cord knotted in the shape of a noose at the company’s London Fashion Week show on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Initial reaction against the hoodie and nooselike drawstring came from one of the company’s own models. Burberry has dropped the item from its collection.<\/p>\n

“We are deeply sorry for the distress caused by one of the products … featured in our A\/W 2019 runway collection Tempest,” Burberry CEO Marco Gobbetti said in an emailed statement. “Though the design was inspired by the marine theme that ran throughout the collection, it was insensitive and we made a mistake.”<\/p>\n

Burberry’s creative director, Riccardo Tisci, also apologized.<\/p>\n

“While the design was inspired by a nautical theme, I realise that it was insensitive. It was never my intention to upset anyone. It does not reflect my values nor Burberry’s and we have removed it from the collection,” he said.<\/p>\n

Their apologies came after a backlash beginning with model Liz Kennedy, who posted her objection<\/a> on Instagram. She was not the model who wore the outfit.<\/p>\n
