Luxottica admitted to the Cooperative Compliance scheme with the Italian Revenue Agency Milan, 29 December 2020 – Luxottica was admitted by the Italian Revenue Agency to the Cooperative Compliance scheme under legislative decree no. 128/2015. The aim of the Cooperative Compliance scheme, in accordance with current legislation to prevent tax risk and permit a further increase in the level of certainty regarding important fiscal matters, is to strengthen the relationship of trust and transparency between Luxottica and the Italian Revenue Agency. The admission to the scheme was preceded by an assessment performed by the Revenue Agency examining the full adequacy of Tax Governance and the Tax Control Framework adopted by Luxottica for the detection, measurement, management, and control of potential tax risk. Adherence to this regime is part of a wider Luxottica strategy aimed at the preventative management of risk based on transparency with financial administrations at a global level for the benefit of all stakeholders.

Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Coercion of U.S. Companies The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) frequently pressures and coerces U.S. compa- nies to conform to its political values and foreign policy. Because of China’s market size, individual companies often feel as though they have no option but to comply with CCP demands. 1. Tiffany & Co. (October 8, 2019) Tiffany & Co. removed a tweeted advertisement featuring a Chinese model wearing a Tiffany ring and covering her right eye with her right hand, a pose many Chinese social media accounts claimed referenced a pose that has come to be associated with the Hong Kong protest movement. 2. Activision Blizzard (October 8, 2019) Activision Blizzard suspended Hong Kong-based Chung Ng Wai, a professional player of one of its online games, after Chung expressed support for Hong Kong protesters in a post-game interview. In addition to making Chung ineligible to receive prize money he had earned in 2019, the company ﬁred the two individuals who conducted the interview with Chung. 3. South Park (October 8, 2019) Comedy Central’s “South Park” was removed from major video streaming plat- forms in China after the cartoon aired an episode satirizing the PRC government’s retaliation against U.S. companies for statements in support of Hong Kong. 4. Houston Rockets/NBA (October 6-8, 2019) After Daryl Morey, General Manager of National Basketball Association (NBA) team the Houston Rockets, tweeted an image with the caption “Fight for Freedom.

Versace's Native American
VERSACE’S NATIVE AMERICAN A COLONIZED FEMALE BODY IN THE NAME OF AESTHETIC AND DYNASTIC GLORY 1 In this contemporary moment fashion designers have the means to collaborate with Native American fashion designers. However, there is still a flourishing fashion market that refuses to recognize Native American tribes as owners of intellectual property.1 While some brands may initially start on the right track via collaboration with Native artists, it may not always end in success.2 Most recently, Versace has included Native American designs in their ready-to-wear fashion for the 2018 Spring-Summer season. This component of the collection belongs to a tribute honoring Gianni Versace and his original FW ’92 Native American print (Figures 1 and 2).3 I will be discussing the implications of the revived Native American print and how it affects Native North American men and women. In this essay, I will look at Versace’s legacy and his original print; the new Native American Tribute Collection by Donatella Versace; and Donna Karan’s collaboration with Pueblo artist, Virgil Ortiz. I argue that respectful recognition of Native North American property is thrown aside for aesthetic and dynastic glory, which in turn, allows non-Native designers to colonize the ‘exotic’ Native woman’s body by denying Native North American men and women the opportunity to represent themselves to the global fashion community. Virgil Ortiz’s collaboration with Donna Karan illustrates how respectful collaboration can shape the dominant society’s perception of Native North American women. If we use Native North American fashion as a framework to understand how Native designers are working to dismantle mainstream stereotypes, it is imperative that global designers 1 “Navajo Nation Sues Urban Outfitters,” Business Law Daily, March 18, 2012.
