Dolce & Gabbana release boycott T-shirt in response to Melania Trump haters
Dolce & Gabbana has spent the past six months dealing with haters after First Lady Melania Trump took a liking to their designs.
Melania has been spotted wearing Dolce & Gabbana on numerous occasions. She wore a sleeveless white top by the Italian label to move into the White House last weekend and wore solely D&G on a recent trip to Italy.
Stefano Gabbana – one half of the duo – has been battling critics on his personal Instagram. After thanking the First Lady for choosing Dolce & Gabbana, he began to receive negative comments for dressing such a controversial figure.
Not one to back down easily, the famed designer started the hashtag #BOYCOTTDOLCEGABBANA.

Now, that hashtag has become a fully-fledged slogan t-shirt which you can now pick up for £185.
Although the design hasn’t been promoted on the official Dolce & Gabbana Instagram account, Stefano posted what looked like an advert showing a fake protest with men and women all wearing the white #BOYCOTT tees.

Melania herself was recently criticised for wearing a Dolce & Gabbana jacket worth £40,000. That’s more than the average American’s household income.
Stefano also referenced that particular incident on his Instagram, praising an opinion piece that had been written in defence of the First Lady.
❤❤???????????????????? to all my haters ????????????????❤❤❤

The designer’s most famous post in recent weeks depicted a diagram showing people what to do with their opinions. The message was: “Place it in your rectum so that it’s deep enough to not come out.”
Lovely.
