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.
