Philipp Plein slammed for ‘distasteful’ Kobe Bryant tribute at Milan Fashion Week


Designer Philipp Plein is facing backlash for a Kobe Bryant tribute included in his Fall 2020 runway show during Milan Fashion Week on Saturday.
However, it wasn’t the designer’s jerseys which were cause for the greatest backlash.

Plein’s runway was decorated with a duo of gold helicopters, a decision many on social media pointed out was exceptionally insensitive considering Bryant’s cause of death.

“Philipp Plein made two gold helicopters for his show today, which falls 27 days after Kobe died in a helicopter crash,” one person tweeted. “BUT DONT WORRY he whipped up a bunch of Swarovski Kobe jerseys (with “Plein” written on them??) so it’s cool. F—k you, Philipp.”
