Controversy

D410 is the shading code for black shirts at Versace. Sampiro reacted by asking the director, "You realize that I'm African American?" In the claim, Sampiro self-identifies as one-quarter African American. After this reaction, Sampiro claimed the store's administration treated him diversely and didn't give him "legitimate" training. Sampiro was terminated after working for fourteen days in September since he didn't  "understand luxury" and didn't "know the luxury life," as indicated by the claim. The claim likewise asserts Sampiro was not paid for time worked, didn't get rest periods and was unfairly terminated.

Versace reacted to this allegation by saying that they "believes strongly in equal opportunity, as an employer and a retailer, and do not tolerate discrimination on the basis of race, national origin or any other characteristic protected by our civil rights laws. We have denied the allegations in this suit, and we will not comment further concerning pending litigation."[4]
