Ladies, please. Can't this be settled over a nice bottle of Grappa? It's all ended in tears for Dolce & Gabbana and Selfridges who's only gone and thrown its toys out of the pram - moreover - D&G out of the store. Yep, from next spring the wonder-emporium will no longer stock Dolce & Gabbana or its diffusion line, D&G due to an acrimonious yet mysterious bitchfight which appears to stem from instore-brand positioning.

“We constantly seek to improve the diversity and presentation of our brand portfolio and address the demands of our ever-evolving fashion and accessories departments. To this end we have found that we are unable to accommodate Dolce & Gabbana and D&G in our mix going forward,” state Selfridges cryptically yet pretty much alluding that in their eyes those Italio asses ain't R-E-L-E-V-A-N-T to their future agenda. Ohi!

One premium label co-owner has whispered, however, "They have had a giant falling out and flounced off. I’m sure they will kiss and make up when they have cooled off. They’ll have to.” In TRR's eyes the good money's on D&G and those Sicilian temperaments as to who pulled the others hair first. Bitches, just 'cos Selfridges probably wanted to give five inches of your floor space to Fendi, no need get all diva on the fine store. Play nice now, you two.
