Shocking news in Milan today when Giorgio Armani accused Dolce & Gabbana of copying his design for a pair of pants. Armani retorted that this was not possible, as they could learn nothing new from Armani. Dolce & Gabbana were the first to show off this ever-so-popular pants design with their new silk trousers, debuted on the Saturday of Milan Fashion Week. Unfortunately for Armani, a remarkably similar pair of pants were not shown until Sunday. However, Armani refuses to let this go, telling reporters, “Now they copy, later they will learn.” Once more, Dolce & Gabbana were quick to announce to restate that Armani offers nothing to teach them, claiming that Armani “has never been a source of inspiration for us, and we stopped seeing his shows years ago.”
Just goes to show that even men’s fashion designers can get into the most catty of fights – especially when they take place on the cat-walk.
