Dolce & Gabbana Bans Hong Kong Public From Photographing Store
Dolce and Gabbana has already caused quite a few controversies recently over their poor photo management (a banned ad that seemed to depict gang rape and making Madonna look like a milky skinned 20 year old) but this time they seem to have caused a bigger stir with the Hong Kong public.
D&G’s recently opened Harbour City branch has attracted more people than usual – but these are not customers.
They are members of the public, hearing that the Italian brand has placed a ban on public photo taking of their store, are now flocking there deliberately taking photos in protest. Enraged Facebookers also quickly expressed their complaints on the social website, creating an online group who plan to go down to the store for a photo taking outing, at 3pm this Sunday, 8th of January. The group already garnered over 4,000 members after midnight last night (6 Jan).

There may be minor clashes between the snap happy protestors and the store’s feisty staff members – so you better get down there this Sunday to capture it all on camera!
