It's just possible to visualise a chain of stupid events where ignorant people accidentally created a very racist image. But the design and the shoot were done by Paul Smith, who really should have known.

people underestimate how easy it is for a corporate product decision to be made in a moronically brainless way
Would be good to get the opinions of someone working in the fashion industry. It’s not like clothing companies have never caught flak for controversial or racist designs.

I think people underestimate how easy it is for a corporate product decision to be made in a moronically brainless way. End result: cycling cap rubber stamped by (probably) a small group of white middle class people because it never crossed their mind that it could be racist.
Sure, maybe they knew what they're doing but I tend towards the sheltered stupidity explanation.
