Ashley Graham and Naomi are being slammed on social media
Ashley Graham and Naomi Campbell are two of the world’s most sought-after models, known for bringing a message of diversity and inclusivity to the runway.
However, their vision of changing the way the fashion industry thinks about race and body ideals is being quested by social media users, after the pair took to the runway for Italian fashion house, Dolce & Gabbana.
The designers behind the luxury label, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, have a long history of courting controversy. Most recently in June, Stefano Gabbana, publicly vilified Selena Gomez via social media, writing " shes so ugly!!" on a photo of the star.

From their anti-IVF and homophobic comments to insulting celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss and Selena Gomez, the pair remain two of the most controversial figures in the fashion world.

“So are we gonna casually ignore the fact @dolcegabbana is pretty unethical with their homophobic comments? And lets not forget that @stefanogabbana bullies young girls online calling them ugly. Love you Naomi, but this company sucks..”
Even celebrity news blogger Perez Hilton condemned the pair for their appearance in the show.

In 2017, the brand launched a“#BoycottDolceGabbana” T-shirt after controversy arose around their decision to dress Trump, who infamously stepped out in a $70,000 coat of their design in Italy last May.
