Abramovich's girlfriend poses on 'half naked black woman' chair, apologises

 The girlfriend of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has said sorry after sitting on a chair made to look like a half-naked black woman on Martin Luther King Day.
Fashion website Buro 24/7 used the offensive image of Dasha Zhukova to illustrate an unrelated interview about the former model’s new magazine, Garage.

However the picture was posted as America celebrated their national holiday to remember civil rights leader Dr King on Monday.
“This is incredibly racist,” Organising for Women’s Liberation tweeted after discovering the pictures.
While Musa Okwonga wrote: “The slave chair is the perfect metaphor for how black women are treated by the fashion industry.”

Alex Tunzelmann added: “Even in the grim, tasteless world of fashion photography, this revolting racists image published on MLK Day! - stands out.”
Zhukova quickly deleted the image from her Instagram page after she was met with a barrage of irate comments while Buro later cropped out the chair in the picture.

And the 32-year-old apologised, saying: "I utterly abhor racism, and would like to apologise to anyone who has been offended by this image."
The photograph showing her sitting in the shocking chair was published "completely out of context", she said

Zhukova and Abramovich, who is worth £8.5 billion, have two children Aaron Alexander, four and 10-month-old Leah Lou.
