Vicki Gardner survived a tragedy that shook her to the core. Ten years ago, journalists Alison Parker and Adam Ward were fatally shot during a live broadcast near Smith Mountain Lake. Gardner was being interviewed that day when the shooting occurred. She was seriously wounded and faced years of painful surgeries, lengthy legal battles, and deep emotional scars.

Somehow, the term fashion faux pas doesnt seem to fully capture what happened here. New York City-based fashion brand Bstroy is under fire for a controversial line of sweatshirts designed to make a statement on gun violence and school shootings. Photos of models wearing collegiate-style sweatshirts that read Columbine, Stoneman Douglas," Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook ridden with bullet holes during New York Fashion Week drew outrage, with one Instagram user commenting: My dead classmates dying should not be a f****** fashion statement.Others mirrored the same sentiment, with victims and families commenting with their disgust. Like the irony of dying violently in a place you considered to be a safe, controlled environment, like school. We are reminded all the time of life's fragility, shortness, and unpredictability yet we are also reminded of its infinite potential."
