A New York-based fashion brand is facing backlash on social media following its most recent fashion show. During New York Fashion Week, Bstroy debuted a series of bullet-ridden school sweatshirts in their spring/summer 2020 show.

The menswear line unveiled several school shooting-themed hoodies in the show, featuring Columbine, Sandy Hook Elementary, Virginia Tech and Marjory Stoneman Douglas. Each sweatshirt featured distressed detailing resembling bullet holes.

All four schools have seen mass shootings over the last two decades, resulting in the deaths of nearly 100 people.

While some have praised designers Brick Owens and Duey Catorze for calling attention to the issue of gun violence, others have accused the duo of attempting to profit from tragedy.

Wow, just... wow. How can anyone possibly be that stupid, insensitive and tasteless. Jeesh.

I imagine they fancy themselves as "edgy" instead of tasteless.

I think it was attention whoring, I mean how else were they going to get their names (that we've never heard of) in the news except by being "newsworthy"

Fuck these MF'ers in their ear! My former mother-in-law was murdered in the Santa Fe school shooting last year. Absolutely abhorrent, disgusting, tasteless and tactless. F-U-M-I-N-G

Get victims families into a class action lawsuit and put these chodes into financial oblivion.
Leave them sucking dicks for spare change.

How does one deliberately make money off of tragedy and human suffering? Do the victims of these shootings need these reminders? Someone that survived atrocity NOW gets to be confronted by it going into Starbucks on a random Tuesday morning? Fuck these guys and their "we're raising awareness" bullshit. EVERYONE over 4 is AWARE ya' fucking tools...

Yikes.

How many people involved with this show?
I'm going to guess a lot.
And no one said:
Hey, wait a minute...
