1. [+492, -24] Just jealous haters
2. [+470, -9] I remember when Naomi Campbell was first modeling for D&G and YSL, people left racist comments asking why a black person was a model for a luxury brand. Now no one even bats an eye at black models for any brand. If anything, Asians suffer more racism now.
3. [+374, -11] As if they're anything special ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ obviously Chanel chose GD as their model because they like him better than any models from your own countries..
4. [+24, -6] Chanel chose him for a reason, why the fuss?;; I thought France was woke but they're more discriminating than I thought
5. [+21, -4] Karl Lagerfeld is no fool, he obviously brought GD on to reach a broader market in Asia. Half of Chanel's sales are made in Asia these days.
6. [+18, -1] Crazy considering that Korea, China, and Japan are the #1, #2, and #3 top sales for Chanel probably ã…‹ã…‹
7. [+18, -4] They're just mad that more and more Asian figures are getting famous and being invited to luxury events like Chanel. Obviously Chanel is enjoying the GD effect to be having him like this.
8. [+18, -6] There are ilbe-like people all over the world. Don't generalize as if all of the French are racist like those comments.
9. [+17, -2] Hilarious considering Asians are the ones keeping Chanel, LV, and Prada's sales afloat
10. [+17, -8] Why did GD's chin get so long though???
