Dapper Dan seeks accountability amid calls for Gucci boycott

Fashion collaborator Daniel "Dapper Dan" Day is seeking accountability as other celebrities call for boycotts of Gucci after the fashion house apologized for producing a sweater that was compared to blackface.

The Harlem-based designer posted on Instagram Sunday "there is no excuse or apology that can erase this kind of insult."

Day claims the CEO of Gucci has agreed to meet with him and members of the community in Harlem.He collaborated with Gucci in 2017 on a menswear line.

Gucci has not responded to an email seeking comment.

The Italian fashion house released a black wool balaclava sweater that included a slit where the mouth is, ringed with what look like giant red lips. Amid a widespread outcry, it apologized for the sweater last week andsaid the item had been pulled from its online and physical stores.

It's the latest case of a major fashion labelhaving to apologize for cultural or racial insensitivity.
