(Very) Modern Manners

HOW does a celebrity publicly signal his dislike of another prominent figure in this day and age? Using an emoji, of course.

Stefano Gabbana, one half of Dolce & Gabbana, clearly isn’t a fan of Victoria Beckham. When the Brazilian edition of Vogue posted a photo of David Beckham’s wife, Gabbana responded with the ‘thumbs down’ emoji. In case any of his fans missed its significance, he posted the image three times.

What has dressmaker Victoria done to incur the Italian’s wrath? Perhaps it was her support for Sir Elton John’s call to boycott Dolce & Gabbana in 2015 following the designers’ rude remarks about children born to gay couples via IVF?
