Sir Elton John was
seen yesterday entering a recording studio in Los Angeles with a bag from one of
the Dolce and Gabbana's stores, with the name of the label written in gold on
the side.
He was carrying
the D&G-branded bag only 24 hours after he entered into a high-profile row
with the designers over their criticism of fertility treatments. And also calling for the boycott of their brand.
A spokesman for
the singer confirmed: ‘Yes he was carrying the bag but he hadn’t been shopping.
And it should not detract from their original message or the boycott.’
Sir Elton
announced he would boycott the brand after designer Domenico Dolce criticized
IVF, saying: 'You are born and you have a father and mother. At least it should
be like that. That's why I'm not convinced by what I call chemical children,
synthetic babies.'
Sir Elton, who has two children with his partner David Furnish born through IVF and surrogacy, responded furiously, writing on Sunday: 'How dare you refer to my beautiful children as "synthetic".
'And shame on you
for wagging your judgmental little fingers at IVF – a miracle that has allowed
legions of loving people, both straight and gay, to fulfil their dream of
having children.
'Your archaic
thinking is out of step with the times, just like your fashions. I shall never
wear Dolce and Gabbana ever again. #BoycottDolceGabbana.
