The DailyMail recently reported that D&G designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana could be jailed for up to two and a half years. And what are they accused of? According to the tax office, the Italian designers did not pay one billion euros in taxes, so they must now answer for that. Such a case is rare when the case actually goes to court.

The duo, which also dresses Madonna and Naomi Campbell, of course denies it, but of course this has no significant effect on the proceedings. The trend of this spring-summer season is the black and white striped top, maybe they will be able to test it live?

Strict inspection

The Italian government launched a manhunt against tax evaders, and many private individuals fell victim to the raids. In England, companies don't get away easily either: Google, Starbucks and Amazon are currently under increased scrutiny.

Tip for you from us

If you like D&G products but haven't had enough money to buy them yet, we recommend that you visit the Mammut I. shopping center, where an outlet awaits customers in March, in many cases for a third of the original price!

According to the accusations, Dolce and Gabbana sold the brands D&G and Dolce&Gabbana to Gado, a company founded in Luxembourg in 2004. Why? Because the tax rates are much lower than in Italy, which is famous for one of the most painful public burdens. They can be sentenced to up to 30 months for their actions. However, there is no cause for concern, as it is hard to imagine that a company of this size does not have the best customer base to protect its interests.

The other side

The case when designers file a lawsuit is much more common, usually because the competition has copied one of their iconic pieces or they come across an online marketplace where replicas of their products are sold. Most recently, Versace won a lawsuit against a group that sold replicas of their bags on eBay. The lawsuit has been going on for years, and the Griffith Suisse Luxury Group eventually - understandably - came out of the case as a loser, so those who wanted to get Versace reticles cheaper will have to give up their plans.

"Replicas are not only harmful because they damage the brand's image, but in many cases they are made on the black market, with child labor," said Gian Giacomo Ferraris, CEO of Versace.

What is the solution against duplicates? "Each of our products has a unique code, customers can check online whether the given product is really made by our hands or just a cheap imitation," added Ferraris. Let's put our hands on our hearts: most Versace clothes and accessories are so kitsch that it's often hard to believe that a real one is original and not a copy.
