Domenico Dolce and Stefano
Gabbana apologised to China on Friday after their fashion house
was hit by a row over an allegedly racist and sexist advert.
"Over the last few days we have thought a lot and with great
sorrow about what happened," Dolce said in a video entitled
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana apologize.
Dolce & Gabbana on Wednesday called off a Shanghai show amid
a row over its social-media campaign showing a model attempting
to use chopsticks to eat pizza.
The fashion house has also been hit by reports of allegedly
derogatory comments about China by Stefano Gabbana.
Gabbana was quoted as describing China as a "foul-smelling,
dirty and ignorant mafia" in comments he said were posted by
someone who hacked his Instagram account.
Dolce & Gabbana's products disappeared from Chinese
e-commerce platforms late on Wednesday amid calls for a boycott
of the brand.
