Dolce & Gabbana and the Kardashians Are a Match Made in Heaven

glamour.com:

By Over the weekend, Kourtney Kardashian longtime friend and emo boyfriend supreme, Travis Barker. If you're on the internet at all, you surely stumbled upon the slew of style posts documenting Kourtney and her family's couture-filled trip to the Italian coast.

After watching the eldest Kardashian child struggle with her love life for nearly 17 seasons of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, I'll admit I was happy for her that that she found her seemingly happy ending with the Blink 182 drummer.

Under her extravagant, embroidered veil—which payed homage to Barker's skull tattoo—she looked genuinely happy.Then the fashion credits started rolling in for every member of the Kardashian crew, and nearly all of them were in head-to-toe Dolce & Gabbana, and Kris Jenner posted Instagram Stories from the brand's pop-up shop—also in Portofino during the big wedding weekend—that the hamster wheel started turning in my head.

Was this entire affair a grander version of the sponsored #ad posts we regularly see influencers post to social media? It's unclear if the label paid for any of the nuptials, though they did tell that they "were indeed happy to host this very special occasion." But the real question is: Why would America's most famous family openly invite a brand who has frequently exhibited wide-ranging bigotry (and has called the family ) to join them on this global stage?
