D&G founders apologize in video

Italian fashion brand Dolce& Gabbana posted an apology video on social media platform Weibo on Friday afternoon after insulting comments posted on designer Stefano Gabbana's Instagram account on Wednesday. The comments, about China and Chinese people, incited public outrage nationwide.

The video, "Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana Apologize", features the two company founders, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, facing the camera and speaking in Italian, with Chinese subtitles.

Dolce says: "Over the past few days we have thought long and hard with great sadness about everything that has happened and what we have caused in your country. And we are very sorry. Our families have always taught us to respect the various cultures in the world and this is why we want to ask for your forgiveness for making mistakes in interpreting yours."
