Tackling the theme of awareness, local fashion designer Gaetano posted a striking photo on his Haus Of Gaetano page, addressing the topic of men’s mental health.
In the caption, Gaetano wrote that name-calling has been commonplace throughout his career. He went on to state that because he is a man, many may think that he wouldn’t care, but the reality is that these words can break a person.
The accompanying photo, taken by Vince Bonello Pukka, featured a shirtless Gaetano with words & phrases like ‘fat’, ‘Buddha’, ‘dirty’, ‘go on a diet’, ‘pig’ and more written across his body.
“A man can also have tough times, a man can also be conscious, a man can also get hurt, a man can also be broken, a man can also feel. Do not remain silent. Speak. Search for help. You are important.”
Followers of designer shot to the comments to congratulate the designer for the way he exhibited the powerful message, congregating in agreement with Gaetano.
