Dolce & Gabbana under fire for offensive product slogan

Shoes from designer’s latest collection have ‘Thin and gorgeous’ written on them

Stefano Gabbana just can’t escape controversy and what’s more, it seems like he doesn’t even want to.

The Dolce & Gabbana (D&G) designer recently posted a contentious photo of a customised shoe from the luxury fashion houses’ new Fall/Winter collection. The shoes, which Vogue Paris claims were designed with millennials in mind, feature scribbles and messages drawn all over them, reported The Huffington Post.



Ironically, people have been outrages over one of the $973 sneakers’ sayings, which read, “I’m Thin & Gorgeous.” One commenter wrote on Gabbana’s Instagram account said, “You don’t think it’s a little [irresponsible] to push a message of ‘thin and gorgeous?’ I hope this will be followed by a message of inclusion of all bodies?” Other users wrote, “You don’t have to be thin to be gorgeous!” and “Thin?! I’m disappointed!”

As he’s done in the past, Gabbana fired back at the people who disagreed with the message. “Darling, you prefer to be fat and full of cholesterol? I think u have a problem,” the designer wrote, before calling other commenters names like “idiot” and “stupid.” He also praised the people like his shoes (and made up the majority of the Instagram comments).



Over the past few months, he has also gotten himself into trouble for his decision to dress US first lady Melania Trump and body-shaming Lady Gaga, who has revealed she has suffered from an eating disorder in the past.
