Controversy!!

Advertising, Armani Feud

Controversy!! During Milan Fashion Week, Giorgio Armani claimed that Dolce&Gabbana copied a design of a pair of his silk trousers. According to D&G that was totaly not true. In January 2007, Dolce&Gabbana was criticized by Britain's advertising watchdog, Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), for an advertising campaign showing models brandishing knives. Spain's Labour and Social Affairs Ministry branded one of D&G's campaign as illegal and humiliating to women, saying that the woman's body position had no relation to the product D&G were trying to sells. The campaign showed a man holding a woman to the ground by her wrist while a group of men look on. This advertisement was pulled by D&G in Madrid, Spain, Paris and France.
