Global Outrage: Sikh Turbans on the International Fashion Week, pride or harassment?

Causing a worldwide outrage, Luxury Brand GUCCI used turbans in a recent runway show, saying the fashion brand has culturally appropriated their religious headpiece. A host of models wore turbans in Gucci's show on Wednesday as part of Milan fashion week.

While some took it as "turban going international", majority took it as an offense by the luxury brand as the article of faith is 'not just another headgear' for a random model walking the fashion runway.

When a common man wears the article of faith, he is abused, hurt physically and mentally in places like the UK, Australia and the USA, he is made the point of target for many, but when the same article is worn on an international runway it becomes a style statement, the irony is depressing.

The other side of the coin is - As the youth follows a brand like GUCCI, it makes the Sikh Turban more acceptable and renowned international in the name of fashion statement.

Controversial is the fact that a hijab and a Sikh turban worn together by a random model, the thought in it self is questionable why would the act not be?
