More than 1,000 people protested outside Dolce & Gabbana's elite Tsim Sha Tsui flagship, demanding an apology for alleged discrimination against locals banned from taking pictures of its storefront display.

funny I just bought a dolce winter coat a few days ago, from the one at pacific place. But I still get tons of services from both the TST one and this one.

they don't discriminate against hongers and treat mainlanders better, they just discriminate against dumb looking poor people (same with Hermes, Prada, CSS and all those watch shops really). Not a lot of people can afford $10,000+ HKD jackets.

And you are a retard if you think 10k hkd is nothing here. A lot of graduates here (like with HKIE qualifications) can barely make over 10k hkd or 1.2k cad here.

The security guard for D&G said "You're not allowed to take pictures.....except if you are from China" That sent hongers over the edge and it resulted in this.

In (my) serious note though, this Christmas season in HK has been terrible if you wanted to do normal shopping. In that mall that D&G belongs to(in Harbour City TST), it virtually became China the entire holiday season and its becomes comical how hard it is to get around and look at things without a FOB bumping you/screaming loud/climbing over you for stuff/standing in the middle of the path. To make things worse, the service industry in HK caters to the biggest buyer and neglects all sorts of manners.

I went to shop for shoes in TST, and in most places you don't get greeted and if you do you're greeted in Mandarin. But its not "Ni Hao", it's "Ke yi ma" (is this ok? But in a "You gonna buy it now?" tone) Fobs have made it so easy on stores that they don't need to sell anymore, ask a clerk anything and he'll look at you like "dude why haven't you bought this yet, why are you asking me stuff?"

One more thing, you're not letting hongers take pictures, you know what that means here? People take a giant DSLR and point it 2 inches from their food for Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner. People take pictures of EVERYTHING here. You're telling them only FOBS can take pictures of a glitsy bright decorated store front of a name brand? This was bound to happen.

Wait is there even proof that the security said only mainlanders are allowed to take a picture?

If there is no proof it could be some guy throwing a tantrum and just saying that to the media to make some sort of news.

He could just be pissed and started screaming bullshit infront of D&G.

Unless there is full proof I wouldn't buy this story people make news all the time.

I just came back from there this holiday season. Stayed at the Marco Polo right where this action takes place. Canton Rd was ridiculous! 30 Mainlanders per line up per name brand store. I was gonna buy some Ferragamos but if I'm spending $700CAD I want someone to lick my dick while I shop, not herd me like cattle.

01-09-2012, 12:57 PM
On 8 Jan 2012, local newspapers reported that the rationale behind the photo 'ban' was not about protecting intellectual property rights of the brand but to prevent wealthy government officials from Mainland China from being photographed, as the brand's goods should be too expensive for their salaries as government officials, which may lead to accusation of bribery by anti-corruption authorities in China.

Service @ Lane Crawford was amazing when they first opened in CWB. I remember going inside (this was when I was 12), one of the gentleman in the suits section (obviously I had no intention of buying one) gave me a quick 15 minute lecture on how to shop for a suit even though I was just browsing the whole store (their rounded escalators drew me into the store).

I went there last summer and it felt like I was stuck inside a fancy Walmart on Black Friday. :heckno:

Actually, if it DID happen then I would assume D&G would have apologized... If there is no proof then it's hard to blame someone. Making news is not hard especially its a commoner VS a company as this happens all the time.

I would say, why apologize when you did not do something wrong?

If they apologized and admitted wrong doing it would also be a nightmare for the company.

Unless there is solid proof I wouldn't bite on either side of the story but I give benefit of the doubt to the company because they are the defendant.

The duty is for the Accuser to prove that D&G was involved in a wrong-doing.

By doing this facebook protest garbage and causing a stir outside a business is just plain stupid.

Also from what I have heard on the radio about this incident, there are no laws against D&G to say no pictures of their store front.

But again there are no laws allowing D&G to say no pictures as well, this falls in to a grey area.

Iceman_2K
01-10-2012, 05:48 PM
Kinda. What happened was that some wanted to take a picture at sidewalk of the front of the store (with probably no intention of actually taking a picture of anything made by D&G) and was told by an employee of the D&G store that they couldn't take a picture there. When pressed for a reason why a picture couldn't be taken in a public place, the store employee replied with a reason that "they didn't want pictures taken of their products so that fakes could be made". However, logic tells you that you could probably get a better picture from the D&G website itself.

That person got a hold of Apple Daily, and Apple Daily News went back to try to verify. Apple Daily News reporters went and tried to take a picture of the store front from the same location, and were advised by a D&G store employee, AND a security guard, that they couldn't take a picture, even though it was public grounds. The security guard, in a moment of stupidity, added oil to the fire by stating "Hong Kong citizens can't take pictures here, but if you were a tourist from the mainland, you can". That's what set off the throng of people to show up in front of the store with cameras.

I still don't understand what's going on here. So D&G asked them not to take pictures of the store and that's a good enough reason for 1000 people to line up outside?

Shopping at Harbour City is definitely catered to the mainlanders nowadays; line-ups are crazy and from my personal experience, the staffs greet you in mandarin. 15 mins walk away, you could go to elements mall which has everything Harbour city has (and more) but without the crowd and better service.

Yes, going to Canton Rd is just like going to China now. And in the last 8-12 months the same can be said for the main shopping areas of Mong Kok. Most of the electronics and clothing stores have been replaced by cosmetics stores, and it is way busier now, every night, not just weekends like before.

Last time I went to Harbour City, I saw a lady wearing a really expensive fur coat and designer bag, shoes, etc, hawk a loogie on the floor :heckno:

If these are the people who hang out at these super exclusive places that I can't get into, FINE BY ME. I don't want to be there.

keep hating, you can't even get in to the places we usually go.
:lawl:

So really though, where are these places that we "normal folk" can't get into, and why can't we? Seriously curious.

Thanks.

Sorry I have no intentions to ever step foot in a surrey gay bar :suspicious: or wait you are in HK/china let's change that to I have no intentions of ever stepping in a gay bar located in china :fuckyea:

I see no reason to say that you bought a D&G jacket for over 10,000 hkd and claim you are not in the least bragging about. Not to mention listing your location as mid-levels hk, as if you need to tell people your well off. Fucking idiot. I should list my location as the peak.

D&G makes fucking shitty ass clothes too btw. Have fun with your jacket.

You are a serious social noob if you think wearing Dolce and living in Mid-levels is anywhere near the very top of the game. I know a ton of people who actually moved away from Mid-levels to other much more expensive places in Hong Kong. See, people like you only know of Mid-levels as the baller places of Hong Kong, when people like us know that there are much more baller places. As a matter of fact, we are considering moving away from Mid-levels as well, but we are staying here because its right beside the 'downtown core' of HK.

Please see above. Even if I tell you where these places are, you still probably don't know where they are or what they are. For example, a wonton noodle restaurant in Central is invite only, and that can be completely ridiculous to a lot of people. There are tons of places in HK like this such as nightclubs, golf clubs, bars, and restaurants. No hard feelings but this is the harsh truth of reality, because social statuses here are a lot more apparent and distinct than in Vancouver.

Harbour City was ridiculous. Line-ups outside these stores on a Tuesday afternoon. The customers and staff were mainly mainlanders. We weren't greeted and when spoken too, the staff's attitude was simply - are you ready to buy something? I agree with the poster above, Elements was far better.

^Elements is also awesome as I could have an affordable breakfast at 大快活 and leech wifi at the same time from HSBC :) Shopping can get dull there unless you're always looking to spend big bucks. Luckily Jordan road is nearby!

So hongers are protesting preferential treatment of mainlanders but have developed a society where membership-only wonton noodle restaurants exist?

Check out the fashion forum, a lot of people spend a lot on clothes such as dolce as well like Jah Gekko, back then when I posted there.

I just noticed this statement. Don't tarnish other ppl's names by dragging them to your pathetic worthless piece of s*it level.

I met Jah 4/5 yrs ago via BS Buy/Sell and he's a down to earth type with a good sense of fashion. You on the other hand come off as a complete piece of trash. You don't even appreciate fashion. You only appreciate the high price-tag so you can flaunt it.
