The menswear unit is a relatively small part of its business and pulling the Jackson-themed items should not have a major impact on the label.
PARIS - French fashion house Louis Vuitton has pulled Michael Jackson-themed items from its 2019 summer menswear collection following a documentary about alleged child abuse by the late pop star.
Louis Vuitton said that at the time of the event, it was not aware of the Leaving Neverland documentary, in which two adult men say they were befriended by Jackson and abused by him in the early 1990s. Abloh, an American designer who was hired by Vuitton in March 2018, said his intention for this show had been to refer to Jackson as a pop culture artist.
Jackson’s family has called the documentary and news coverage of the accusations a “public lynching” and said he was “100 percent innocent”.

The Real Rogue Unit : Jacob Zuma and his State [Capture] Security Agency’s nine wasted years of impunityThe high-level review panel report on the State Security Agency’s (SSA) illicit activities during the Zuma years is awash with examples of politically-motivated operations, corruption and the spy agency’s general disregard for the rule of law. The report could serve as a useful manual to help rescue the SSA from the swamp of abuse and malfeasance it had been dragged into by Zuma and Co. But this document should by no means be the final say on this grave matter, and President Cyril Ramaphosa’s inevitable battle with the spooks is bound to get nasty.
