Are Dolce and Gabbana Eco- Friendly?


After doing lots of research on the internet and reading articles, I have come to the conclusion that Dolce and Gabbana are not an sustainable or eco friendly company. 

 It may say 'made in Italy' on the inside of their clothing but most of the clothes are made and distributed in Germany. And the majority of their fragrances and cosmetics are made in France. 

 When researching about the clothes being eco friendly or the brand being carful about protecting the environment, the search came up with nothing. So I presume that Dolce and Gabbana are not making garments that better the environment or take into account the sourcing of their fabric.

- These two extracts are from a sustainability ranking site, as you can see Dolce and Gabbana have the lowest ranking on sustainability as they give no information on their brands environment cycle, making the brand dangerous to buy from.

Fashion Houses such as Givenchy and Louis Vuitton have been around for decades, much longer then D&G, but because they update and revamp the brand/ clothing every couple of years; their clothes are still very successful as they relate to the decade and audience preceding as still being very desirable. Example: Virgil Abouh the owner of the luxury streetwear brand 'Off White', is now head designer of Louis Vuitton menswear. This is a very smart move from the fashion house as streetwear is
