Metro NY Sponsors Racist Fashion Designer and Press Whore Apollo Braun

Edited by Saynt

It’s definitely a press release that made us say huh?!?

Metro NY, the newspaper that plastered controversial designer Apollo Braun’s story about a girl who got beat up wearing his “Obama is my Slave” shirt on their front page, is endorsing the designer at an upcoming fashion event to take place in the Lower East Side on August 17th.

L.E.S. Fashion Flipside, the event in question, will feature the designer who’s best known for creating less than impressive, overpriced graphic tees with sayings like “Obama = Hitler” and “Who Killed Obama?”.

The press hungry designer seems to be benefiting from his racist ways and will be headlining the event being sponsored by Metro and The Lower East Side Business Improvement District.
