Beleaguered luxury brand Gucci has made a <\/span>loud statement<\/span><\/a> about abortion <\/span>with the rollout of its Cruise 2020 collection. Designed by Gucci\u2019s creative director Alessandro Michele, the collection featured garments with provocatively pro-abortion messaging.<\/span><\/p>\n

Michele described the collection, unveiled in the Capitoline Museums in Rome on May 28th, in an interview<\/a> with Women\u2019s Wear Daily (WWD) as \u201cpaying homage to the Italian law regarding abortion.\u201d The fashion line included a purple jacket with the frequently used pro-abortion catchphrase, \u201cMy Body, My Choice,\u201d as well as a jacket featuring the date of Italy\u2019s abortion law, and a skirt with a flowering uterus.\u00a0Michele claimed that pro-life laws passed in various states in the U.S. \u201cmade me consider how much women should be highly respected,\u201d according to the AP.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
