Stefano Gabbana doesn’t approve of Victoria Beckham

 		Stefano Gabbana doesn’t approve of Victoria Beckham

It seems Stefano Gabbana, one half of Italian design duo Dolce & Gabbana, isn’t Victoria Beckham’s biggest fan.

On Tuesday, Vogue Brasil Instagrammed a shot from the former Spice Girl’s September 2016 Vogue shoot in honor of Beckham’s 44th birthday. In the comments section, Gabbana, 55, posted three thumbs-down emojis.

This isn’t the first time the two designers have publicly sparred. Back in April 2014, speaking at the launch of the Victoria and Albert Museum’s “The Glamour of Italian Fashion” exhibit, Gabbana reportedly called Beckham a friend before disparaging her designs. “For us, she don’t make [clothes] the same way like a fashion designer,” he said via The Telegraph. “She’s a designer but … it’s different. John Galliano is a designer … Alexander McQueen.”

Then, in March 2015, Beckham supported Elton John’s call to boycott Dolce & Gabbana following the designers’ incendiary comments regarding children born to gay couples via IVF. (Dolce & Gabbana eventually apologized for calling IVF babies “synthetic” in August 2015.)

Both Beckham and her footballer husband, David, were friendly with the design duo back in the aughts, and often wore Dolce & Gabbana in public (like their coordinating white looks at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards).

In 2010, Dolce & Gabbana even hailed David Beckham as a menswear revolutionary.

“Things really started to change in men’s when we started to work occasionally with David Beckham,” Gabbana told the Los Angeles Times. “He was the channel we needed to speak to men. Here was a soccer player who is straight, with a wife and children, and men were saying: ‘If he wore it, I can wear it too.’ Before that it felt like men’s fashion was just for gay men or strange people — men were afraid to wear something special.”

A rep for Dolce & Gabbana declined to comment. A rep for Beckham did not immediately return a request for comment.
