No it was not. That image is an actual historical image of a Sambo black face caricature for comparison to show where the Prada images are derived from.
Hey @Prada these photos were brought to my attention as images of blackface are on display in your Soho store in NYC. Have you all lost your minds? Are you all that ignorant of the blatant racist display in your store right now?! See examples side by side! #boycottpradapic.twitter.com/IedslVZRbm

They didn’t include the watermelon image. That’s from a display at the Smithsonian museum in DC.

@Prada is cancelled. We as consumers and a society need to avoid giving our attention and resources to companies that promote racism and other forms of hatred to minority and marginalized communities. You can’t just separate their deeds from the products that you enjoy. -
Capitalism gives those with privilege most power, but there are more of those it exploits. If we as a society really want equality for everyone, we should all be willing to cut out products and services by companies perpetuating discriminatory ideologies.
