Dolce & Gabbana, the fashion brand that in 2018 made headlines after falling from grace in China, is in the news again, this time for suing the founders of Diet Prada, the Instagram account that reposted anti-Asian comments attributed to one of the designers.
On the eve of a fashion show to be held in Shanghai in November 2018, the label released a promotional video on Chinese social media that many internet users inside and outside of China deemed offensive.
Stefano Gabbana, co-founder of the label, privately messaged an Asian-American woman who had raised concerns about the video, which she saw as demeaning to the Asian community. In the message exchange Gabbana hurled insults at her and the Chinese people. Gabbana later said that his Instagram account had been hacked.
