Gucci fashion show at royal palace cancelled

Luxury fashion brand Gucci has called off a fashion show scheduled to take place at a royal place in Seoul after criticism arose over fashion magazine photos taken at the former presidential compound of Cheong Wa Dae, cultural heritage officials said today.

Yonhap reported that Gucci had planned to hold the Gucci Cosmogonie show at Seoul's Gyeongbok Palace, which was the main palace of Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) on Nov 1, after consultations with South Korea's Cultural Heritage Administration (CHA).
