No, doubt the brand received a lot of criticism for this on Social media. On Friday, the New York-based Sikh Coalition civil rights group tweeted "The Sikh turban is a sacred article of faith, @gucci, not a mere fashion accessory. #appropriation. We are available for further education and consultation if you are looking for observant Sikh models."
A Twitter user Harjinder Singh Kukreja slammed the brand for disrespecting the turban. His tweet received almost 2.5K retweets and 4.7K likes.
Well, this is not the first time when a fashion brand has come under fire, earlier Zara grabbed the headlines or selling lungis as skirts at an unreasonable price.
