Vogue Italia's Slave Earrings Brouhaha





When history's Slave trade era is mined for fashion inspiration







Why couldn't they just call 'em HOOP earrings? Weh! Or just shoot the copy editor for being culturally insensitive.



Vogue Italia now says the "Slave Earrings" was a mistranslation and now calls it "Ethnic earrings".



Okay so Slave = Ethnic? Way to go, no save there Vogue Italia
