Domenico Dolce Apologises For Offensive Comments
Domenico Dolce has today publicly apologised for the offensive comments he made in March earlier this year when he stated that he « opposed gay adoption » and that children born through IVF treatment were « synthetic ».
The designer told American Vogue, « I’ve done some soul-searching. I’ve talked to Stefano a lot about this. I’ve realised that my words were inappropriate, and I apologise… They are just kids. You don’t need labels, baby labels. I think everybody chooses for themselves. I don’t know everything about IVF, but I love it when people are happy. It’s like medicine. Science has been put on the table to help people. »
The comments appeared in Panorama magazine in an interview with the design duo sparked huge upheaval and a boycott of the fashion brand led by Elton John as he publicly shunned the designer via his Instagram.
