Dolce & Gabbana Sue Fashion Commentary Blog Diet Prada for Defamation

Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana of Dolce & Gabbana have filed a €4 million defamation suit against popular fashion commentary blog @Diet_Prada, accusing blog co-founders Tony Lui and Lindsey Schuyler of causing them to lose revenue and other opportunities surrounding their controversial 2018 #DGlovesChina campaign.

Dolce&Gabanna faced widespread criticism for what many perceived as stereotyping Chinese culture in an advertising campaign before a Shanghai fashion show. The ad campaign included a video in which a Chinese woman attempts and fails to eat Italian food with chopsticks. It was uploaded, but removed within 24 hours, though it remained visible on Diet Prada. Diet Prada also posted screenshots of anti-Asian remarks allegedly sent from Stefano Gabbana’s Instagram account (he later said his account was hacked). As a result of the furor, the runway show was canceled. In response to the lawsuit, Liu told the Cut, “As an Asian-American, I’m part of a community that is often misrepresented. Like many people of color in the United States, there’s pain that stems from seeing ourselves depicted through inaccurate, harmful stereotypes. Often, it leads to racism and violence.”

He continued, “For two years, I’ve stayed silent and carried the burden of this lawsuit on my shoulders. During this time, the world was forced to reckon with the systemic racism in the U.S. that led to the murder of George Floyd and countless other Black lives, as well as the xenophobia that further fueled Trump’s anti-Asian rhetoric in the age of COVID-19. In the outpouring of support for these communities being targeted, we all continue to see the power of solidarity and speaking truth to power. Diet Prada will continue to be a platform to elevate these crucial issues.”

We definitely see Diet Prada’s point. Dolce & Gabbana committed a huge cultural misstep and didn’t do the proper research to ensure their commercial wasn’t offensive. As an outsider looking in, the commercial seems benign, but obviously there are cultural cues that neither Dolce & Gabbana nor I are aware of. When stepping foot into a new country and culture, it’s of prime importance to offer the utmost respect. D&G fell short, and now are blaming their errors and the fall out on a media organization that was simply reporting the news.

Durable & Stylish Options for Your Home Decor

Home and its entire rooms deserve decoration, be it in the kitchen or the living room. However, most of the attention is given to the living room, given that the family spends quality time together in this room. Since this room is used differently, you must consider having the most stylish and latest furniture in it. Nevertheless, with a lot of options available in the market to decorate this room, sometimes it becomes hard to make the right decisions. This write-up will give you some of the best and possible ideas for your linen tablecloths. Whether your goal is whether to refresh your rooms or completely do a makeover, you are bound to find the best idea for you.

Use palette

This design is rooted in natural palettes. Different people will use this to style and decorate the house differently. Some use it to refresh their lush oasis with ocean blues and leafy greens. The palettes give you a sunkissed feeling. Have the palette from one room to the other, adding some bright paint at the tip. For a room accessible to a lot of natural light, use soft hues and deepening shades of gray and blue for the other rooms. 

Colors

Use mountain grey and morning yellow colors in the outdoors of your home. This duo is more optimistic and is exactly what you need today to decorate your home. Grey is much reliable when it comes to preserving the neutrality of your home. Also, this is illuminating and brings out the joy of the natural colors, thus re-energizing you every time you look at it. You can try this out by getting a grey-colored couch, and some pillow throws.

Materials: Lightwoods

Materials can also be used to decorate a house into the home you would want to see. However, remember that tactility is everything, and it makes the experience deeper and richer. Make your interior walls cozy and trendy using light-toned words either on the floors or on the furniture. Some people use this wood in wall paneling or ceiling boards. This will provide you the finishing you have been looking for. Alternatively, you can use linen materials in your table clothes to bring out a trendy but simpler theme.

Woven textures

Wooden décor is also another stylish décor most people prefer to have in their homes. There are various things in your house you can use to utilize the woven materials. For instance, you can use this material to make a caned cabinet, on a seating can, or in a wicker planter. This will bring out the natural look in your home. You can use some cool lighting using the authenticity touch. These materials will make the outdoor environment of your home comfier to relax most of the time.

Shapes: Curved

You can achieve stylish and trendy décor using different types of shapes in your home. One of the shapes most people use is a comfy and curved shape. After a long time of looking for something to bring out a more innocent vibe in your home, here come different shapes of furniture to help you decorate your home in the desired design. Asymmetrical shapes are good in this because they are perfect for bringing out a simple but stylish décor. Have your furniture made with a curved shape. Curves are known for being fluid, meaning that they don’t give you a tight or a rigid theme where you will have to struggle to find something to match it with. You can apply this design to your coffee table, cabinets, and even in archways. Sometimes, you can still use it in lighting, and it will come out great. The round shape makes this design more fun and approachable. Moreover, it is easy to find affordable furniture.

Style

Who does want to feel creative and wilder in their choice of style? Well, I guess the answer to this question is nobody. This is why rustic décor has made an appearance in most homes. Like other trends we know, this style has a rugged and back to basics approach. Presently, the rustic style is nothing like the old one as it is more upscale. If you want to use this style, however, you must ensure that your colors are blended in the room essentials and usually in the streamlined pieces. This brings out the elegance in your design. If you want to achieve more with this style, use brown and green colors or themes in your room. You can use these colors on the fur throws and in the cowhide rugs. Replace all the rust in your room with gloss. This will create an ambiance of the modern rustic style.

Design huck

This applies to many things, for instance, in storage furniture. As much as we are trying to achieve calmness and efficiency in the home environment, storage furniture is one piece of items we can utilize to bring this out. This theme brings harmony to the entire décor. You can use this in tables, cabinets, benches, and ottoman. Since this is multipurpose, you cannot only use it with the furniture but in different spaces in your home. It is more fun when used in small spaces. For homes with a gym or craft studios inside and sometimes an office, you can have a desk in it to serve as a nightstand. Alternatively, you can use this bench as a table behind your couch. 

Movement

Achieving a stylish home décor involves various things, and these things you must consider for your result to be satisfactory. Considering the movement of the items you purchase in your home is another way to achieve stylish home décor. A socially conscious and healthy home is a good environment not only for your but your entire family. Investing in items that are friendly but stylish can get you a home design of your choice. Some of the items that are sustainable in terms of movement include bioplastics, up-cycled items, and recycled materials. These items, when utilized well, can be trendy. Using sustainable designs can bring out the theme of purity. Think of items such as hypoallergenic beddings, composite outdoor furniture, and rugs made from natural fibers. These handmade materials bring out a stylish design for your décor. Above all, these materials are durable, meaning that you don’t have to spend all the time purchasing them.

To sum up, there are many durable and stylish options or rather ideas you can use for your home décor. These options come in different budgets, but since there are many options, you will be bound to find the one that fits into your account. From materials, colors, shapes, and styles, you can find the best options to suit your desired home décor.
