Right now Milan Fashion week is going down and one of the fashion designers who had a show decided to pay tribute to Kobe Bryant!
Philipp Plein is a German Fashion Designer who decided to pay tribute to Kobe during his show - he showed off bedazzled jerseys and hoodies that had Kobe's number but featured Plein's name instead of "Lakers"
That wasn't the reason he received some backlash though - it's because he also featured a gold helicopter on the stage! Obviously this is in poor taste and shouldn't have been on the stage if you were also going to have a Kobe Tribute!
Get another look at the Helicopter HERE
One person tweeted out this message - “Philipp Plein made two gold helicopters for his show today, which falls 27 days after Kobe died in a helicopter crash, BUT DONT WORRY he whipped up a bunch of Swarovski Kobe jerseys (with “Plein” written on them??) so it’s cool. F—k you, Philipp.”
I'm not sure why Philipp decided to feature the Helicopter but he said that the profits from his “Plein 24” capsule collection dedicated to Bryant, which includes a $3,150 hoodie and a $2,070 tank top, will be donated to the athlete’s Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation. Plein added that the “first $20,000” was transferred to the foundation the day before the show
