Italian Vogue has been under backlash for using the term"slave earrings" to describe the style of a specific earrings. People everywhere have been commenting on how offensive this term is. The magazine's editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani said in a statement "We apologize for the inconvenience. It is a matter of really bad translation from Italian into English," "The Italian word, which defines those kind of earrings, should instead be translated into 'ethnic style earrings'. Again, we are sorry about this mistake which we have just amended in the website."
That "Apology" definitely did not make me or anyone else feel any better. Its offensive to may people and in no case should the hardships of any group of people be used for a "Fashion Term". If they didn't get how people would react to this, I'm sure they are aware now. Take a look at this article for more details on Yahoo! Shine
