Dolce & Gabbana Cancels Shanghai Show After Uproar Over Racist Videos
LatestDolce & Gabbana pulled the plug on a fashion show in Shanghai just hours before it was supposed to start, on account of a series of racist promotional videos that somehow materialized on the label’s social media accounts.
The issue stemmed from three 40-second spots posted across the company’s Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, featuring an Asian model attempting to eat various Italian foods with chopsticks. Accompanying the visual was a man’s voice making sophomoric jokes about “penetrating” a cannoli with chopsticks, asking it’s “too huge” and other predictably similar idiocy.
