US Vice President-elect Kamala Harris has been criticized online for her love of the clothes of the American-hated fashion house Dolce & Gabbana. The information appeared on the website of the Independent.
The 56-year-old politician has appeared several times in public in the clothes of the Italian luxury brand. So, for example, she went to a reception with US President Joe Biden in a woolen jumper of the brand, and came to a meeting with Finance Minister Janet Yellen Harris in a gray trouser suit and a plaid jacket from a fashion house.
The creator of the Instagram account Kamala's Closet (page removed for now) Vittoria Vignone has published a series of stories in which she criticized Harris for choosing Dolce & Gabbana clothes. “D&G is a brand with a lot of political controversy,” she explained.
Subscribers agreed with the words of the author of the posts. In their opinion, the US VP should stop wearing Dolce & Gabbana outfits for several reasons. In particular, because the brand is not American and is also a luxury one. “It seems to me that Harris should not wear clothes from other countries. Plus she could wear more affordable brands, ”Vignone emphasized.
In addition, American users drew attention to the fact that the founders of the fashion house, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, were previously accused of racism due to commercials. In one of them, a Chinese woman tried unsuccessfully to eat Italian food with Chinese chopsticks, and a voice-over left caustic comments about this.
In addition, the creator of the Kamala's Closet page emphasized that the mentioned designers collaborated with the former US First Lady Melania Trump, while other designers refused to work with her.
“I would rather celebrate the brands that Kamala chooses and which are worth supporting, rather than talk again about racist, sexist and homophobic brands,” concluded Vignone.
In November 2018, the creators of Dolce & Gabbana mocked a woman and infuriated the Chinese. In the video, a Chinese woman tries to eat Italian food with chopsticks. “Dolce & Gabbana are racists who didn't even bother to learn basic things about Chinese customers. This ad is insulting to my culture, ”the users wrote in the comments.
