MILAN—Fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have
closed their Milan stores for three days "in indignation" over
remarks by a city official relating to their tax evasion
conviction.  The pair took out a full-page ad Saturday in
Italian dailies expressing frustration with "insults" aimed at
them.  The last straw, they said, were remarks by a city
official who said tax evaders should not be allowed to use
prominent city spaces.  Dolce and Gabbana were found guilty last
month of failing to declare 200 million euros ($268 million)
through a Luxembourg company. They deny the charges and plan to
appeal.  The duo's Dolce&Gabbana label got its start in Milan 30
years ago. Gabbana said on Twitter that they never asked to use
city spaces.  The stores reopen Monday.
