The Black woman looks like Yemaja or Yemanja originally in the Yoruba Religion. She's the mother goddess & is usually in turquoise or blue. Especially, in those earrings. I don't see anything racist, I see a spiritual channel. D&G knows what they are doing.
It can be interpreted as racists because the earrings and print have imagery that resembles the "mammy" archetype. Which is basically a reference to the time where black women were domesticated slaves.
I don't think that is what DG intended. It's just what it looks like.

fashion designers just love to add art in their work
This is why I ignore her Twitter s**t. I love her, but she tends to "tweet" without thinking. "Racist" isn't the word to describe this. Maybe "hilarious" or "ugly".
Racist or not, it's tacky as ****.
They already know that this would spark controversy.
I doubt they'll have anything against Azealia, this is what they want.
The black woman looks atrocious on both dresses and they can both be fine with the textures on the dress itself. It is racist because of the combination of the earrings and the image of the stereotypical black woman with big lips, yellow lipstick (), and it just being tacked on to a perfectly capable dress in a tacky way to pass it off as 'art'.
@ people saying she's "reaching."
