Designer Ulyana Sergeenko In Trouble Over Racist Slur

Model Naomi Campbell has led fashion industry insiders in criticizing prominent Paris-based designer Ulyana Sergeenko, who casually used a racist slur in a note to a friend during Paris couture week. Russian Sergeenko handwrote a note addressed to "my n-word in Paris" alongside a smiley, to blogger Miroslava Duma — who posted a photo of the note online Monday. Sergeenko said the reference was inspired by a Kanye West track with the same title. Campbell was among those shocked, and wrote "this better not be real" in reply.
