If fashion is a reflection of the times it is little wonder that the current round of shows have often felt discombobulating.<\/p>\n

A model staged a silent protest while walking in the Gucci show at Milan Fashion Week on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Ayesha Tan-Jones and other models were dressed in white jumpsuits for the show, some resembling strait jackets.<\/p>\n

Tan-Jones, who is non-binary and uses they\/them pronouns, wrote “Mental health is not fashion” on their hands.<\/p>\n

Gucci said the designs were meant to represent “how through fashion, power is exercised over life, to eliminate self-expression”.<\/p>\n

Posting on Instagram after the show, Tan-Jones wrote: “Straitjackets are a symbol of a cruel time in medicine when mental illness was not understood, and people’s rights and liberties were taken away from them.”<\/p>\n

She added “It is in bad taste for Gucci to use the imagery of straitjackets and outfits alluding to mental patients, while being rolled out on a conveyor belt as if a piece of factory meat.”<\/p>\n

Tan-Jones added that they, along with some of the other models in the show, were donating a portion of the fees they were paid by Gucci to mental health charities.<\/p>\n
