It could be a costly interview for Dolce and Gabbana.
A celebrity boycott is gaining momentum over comments made by the Italian design duo
in which they criticised fertility treatment and same-sex parenting.
Italian magazine Panorama quoted Sicilian-born Domenico Dolce as saying:
“You are born and you have a father and a mother. Or at least it should be like this, that’s why I am not convinced by chemical children, synthetic babies, wombs for rent.”
Dolce and Gabbana, both gay and a former couple, say they did not mean to judge others.
But singer Sir Elton John, who has two boys with husband David Furnish, was furious at their remarks.
He wrote on Instagram: “How dare you refer to my beautiful children as synthetic.”
“And shame on you for wagging your judgmental little fingers at IVF ... Your archaic thinking is out of step with the times, just like your fashions.”
How dare you refer to my beautiful children as "synthetic". And shame on you for wagging your judge
