In a recent interview with Panorama magazine, designers Dolce and Gabbana threw around harsh criticism about IVF (in vitro fertilization). “I call children of chemistry, synthetic children,” said Domenic Dolce. Elton John, who has two sons born via surrogate, took to Instagram to respond, saying, “I shall never wear Dolce and Gabbana ever again.” Now other celebrities are slamming the designers with the hashtag #BoycottDolceGabbana.
Here’s who’s spoken out so far.
In spite of what @dolcegabbana think, my beautiful IVF children are not “synthetic children”. I agree with @eltonjohndotcom

These designers horrifying views are never in fashion. Their clothes are as ugly as their hate. #BoycottDolceGabbana — Ryan Murphy (@MrRPMurphy) March 15, 2015
Being a child of in vitro fertilization myself, I’m honestly offended by Domenico Dolce’s ignorant statement. #BoycottDolceGabbana — Deion Gill (@DeionGill) March 16, 2015
