Dolce & Gabbana's show in China canceled over controversial ad and alleged racist remarks by Stefano Gabbana

Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana has come under fire for its “DG loves China” advertising campaign -- so much so that its upcoming fashion show in the country has been canceled by the Cultural Affairs Bureau of Shanghai. The brand posted a video on the Chinese social network Weibo in which a Chinese woman has trouble trying to eat Italian foods such as pizza and pasta using chopsticks. At the end, she tries to eat a cannoli and a male voice asks: “is it too big for you?”. People from all over the world called the ad racist on social media, which has caused the label to delete the video from the Chinese social platform (but not from its official Instagram profile).
