GUCCI has been mocked for its latest catwalk fashion trend — the electronic tag look.
Critics say the Italian fashion brand’s design makes wearers look like prisoners with an ankle bracelet to monitor their movements.

One person commented on the firm’s Facebook page: “At least you can be stylish when fresh outta jail omg.”
The bonkers bracelet is actually a leather strap which can carry lipsticks — and which can also be worn around the wrist.
And it has also been incorporated into leather gloves – which usually cost around £350 a pair.
But another person added that it could be used by dog-walkers to stash their poo bags!
The oddball design is part of a new range of clobber from the firm.
Another bizarre fashion accessory for next year is a backpack made of leather straps to carry a pillow or sleeping bag.

A model staged a protest at Gucci’s Milan Fashion Week show late last month after wearers dressed in straitjackets were sent down a conveyor belt runway.
Ayesha Tan Jones – who identifies as non-binary - appeared in the show but wrote the words “mental health is not fashion” on the palms of their hands – which they held up while on the runway.
Gucci said: “The show presented how society today can have the ability to confine individuality and how Gucci can be the antidote. It was a journey from conformity to freedom and creativity.
