Why is Miley Cyrus beefing with Dolce & Gabbana?

accreditation

Italian luxury brand Dolce & Gabbana showcased its #DGMillennials men's runway show this past Saturday in Milan in what turned out to be a superbly millennial-studded affair.

Not only were the items on the runway speaking to millennial culture with #DG seen on handbags, but the models were all millennials.

And we're not just talking about the faces behind well-known social media handles here, think more along the lines of the sons, nephews, brothers and brothers-in-law of famous people or royals. Snoop Dogg's son and Hillary Clinton's nephew even hit the runway.

Miley Cyrus' younger brother Braison was also among this pack of models.

So following the show, Miley took to Instagram to congratulate him.

But at the end of the heartfelt congrats to her little brother, Miley added a feisty P.S. to the Pied Pipers of famous millennials, acknowledging and applauding their collaboration with young artists, while simultaneously calling them out for their questionable politics.

According to Fashionista.com the questionable politics are the fact that D&G has been dressing the First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump, for her public appearances. An opportunity many prominent designers had turned down from the get-go for obvious political reasons.

The Italian design duo is no stranger to controversy and apparently Stefano Gabbana is even a proud Melania supporter. 

D&G has also come under fire before for making problematic comments about children born through IVF, their Spring '16 "slave sandals" and more recently, their fat shaming sneakers. All of which they have shown little remorse for.

So it should come as no surprise that he had an unapologetic retort to Miley's post. First, he replied "Ignorant!!!" and then reposted the former child star's Instagram post adding a touch of pettiness in his caption.

We're not really surprised by his response, we've seen this kind of behaviour from Stefano Gabbana before. Guess he really doesn't give a shit when it comes to criticism. Not even from major millennial influencers like Miley.
