Last month the fashion brand came under fire after designer Stefano Gabbana made a nasty and unprovokedcomment about Selena Gomez on Instagram. The Italian designer attacked the 25-year-old’s appearance in an Instagram comment writing that she was “so ugly.”
Fans on social media were quick to call out Graham and Campbell out for walking a show that supports Gabbana’s career. (Both models walked thebrand’s previous show in April.)
Another pointed out the designer’s behavior to Graham in a comment. “I’m completely disappointed in you, Ashley, for walking in this show. Their behavior toward women is not ok. SHAME.”
In addition to top models, the brand also had top pros in the hair and makeup world working behind the scenes at the show. Campbell tagged hairstylist Guido Palau and makeup artist Pat McGrath as the artists behind her runway look onInstagram.
Despite numerous controversial moments from the brand’s design duo,celebrities still flock to the Dolce & Gabbana showsand wear their clothing. (In 2015 Gabbana and Dolce, who are both openly gay, publicly voiced their opposition to IVF calling it “unnatural” and in Aprildissed Victoria Beckham on her birthdaywith thumbs-down emojis on Instagram.)
In 2017, the brand launched $245 “#BoycottDolceGabbana” T-shirt after controversy arose around their decision to dress First LadyMelania Trump.
