Designer Philipp Plein presented his Spring/Summer 2017 collection Wednesday night during Milan Fashion Week with an insanely elaborate show. It included a swing carousel, a marching band, an ice cream truck, convertibles, a cameo by Paris Hilton, as well as performances by Fergie and Fat Joe, who performed their respective hits "M.I.L.F. $" and "All the Way Up." It could’ve easily been a terrific show, if not for one major problem: Plein decided to title the event “Alice in Ghettoland.” Yes, GHETTOland.

Models decked out in pieces like gold chains, snapbacks, and basketball shorts paraded around the fantasy-inspired set design, which featured a giant garden gnome with the word "Pimp" written on his chest. Twitter obviously had a lot to say about this mess. You can check out some of the reactions below.

GHETTOLAND???

I just can't get with that "Alice in Ghettoland" title he gave the show. Makes the styling turn me off

And fucking whack and unimaginative do you have to be to have a fashion show called "Alice in Ghettoland".
