WOW Dolce & Gabbana turn tax evasion case into fashion inspiration

Stefano Gabbana has said they are being "crucified like thieves" and Dolce & Gabbana stores in Milan were closed for three days in July "for indignation".  And far from shying away from their legal predicament, the designers took the opportunity to turn money troubles into clothes. Found guilty of failing to declare €1bn (£850m), they have been ordered to pay €343.4m – which would force the company to close, Gabbana said in July. Marni also showed on Sunday. If Milan fashion can broadly be divided into sex and sandals, this brand falls into the latter category. The contrast with the va-va-voom world of Dolce & Gabbana was exaggerated by electricity problems which meant the models walked in silence for the morning show.
