Marks & Spencer to sell women's underwear inspired by George Floyd

Just days after George Floyd's first statue was unveiled in the United States, he became the inspiration for an "innovation" in an unexpected field: underwear. The UK's largest lingerie manufacturer and retailer, Marks & Spencer, has announced a new "inclusive" lingerie collection inspired by George Floyd. It presents new colors of clothing according to skin color.

According to the company, the previous offer of underwear was "inconsistent" and did not represent all ethnic groups.

Floyd's death at the hands of former Police Officer Derek Chauvin sparked massive protests in the West, resulting in multiple deaths and billions in property damage during Black Lives Matter riots. A controversial sticking point for many who reject celebrating Floyd is that he served five years in prison for a home invasion in which he is accused of holding a pistol to a woman's belly. Floyd also had a long criminal record and although a court convicted Chauvin of murder, Floyd also had a large range of narcotics in his system at his time of death, including the powerful opiate Fentanyl, which was deemed to be four time the amount that could theoretically lead to an overdose.

The Marks & Spencer company, which also sells clothing and food in the Czech Republic, introduced the new collection of women's underwear a few days ago. The company announced the news as a revamping of its product offering. When presenting the collection, it pointed out the motivation for change.

The company claims the "bold and relevant" campaign called "Nothing neutral about it" draws attention to new colors in the shades of different races.

I bet the bodice is breathtaking!
