Fashion giant, Gucci recently came under fire due to its bizarre fashion show at Milan Fashion Week. The show featured models holding replicas of their own heads and absurd props such as dragons.

Vogue India criticised for choosing Kim Kardashian as its cover star

We were all pretty surprised when Kimmy K appeared on the cover of Vogue India in a beautiful Anita Dongre outfit. However, this surprise soon turned into bitter commentary when people started to criticise the publication for choosing Kim Kardashian as its cover celebrity. “India has Rekha, Priyanka Chopra, and Aishwarya Rai and they get Kim Kardashian? Vogue India is truly trash and over for not acknowledging brown beauty,” said a tweet. The publication has since responded with a statement defending its position saying: “In the last 10 years, Vogue India has had only 12 international covers, including Kendall Jenner, in 2017. Therefore, statistically, 90 per cent [sic] of our covers are Indian! And we are proud of that,” it read.

Atif Aslam refuses to promote Bollywood song after ban

Pakistani signing sensation Atif Aslam has been repeatedly refusing to promote his Bollywood song Sehmi hai Dhadkan from the movie Daas Dev after the ban imposed by the Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association (IMPPA), says the movie producer Sanjeev Kumar. “Atif said he will do it, but it hasn’t been done. I’m not sure why he isn’t taking part in the activity, but, as a producer, I see that work promised hasn’t been executed,” Kumar said in a statement.
