		</div><p>The Chinese model in widely derided advertisements for Italian fashion line Dolce &; Gabbana has apologised for her appearance in the campaign.</p>
<p>Zuo Ye said on her Weibo microblog that as a recent college graduate, she had not had time to consider the effect of the ads, in which she was filmed trying to eat pizza, spaghetti and a giant version of a cannoli pastry using chopsticks.</p>
<blockquote><p>“I will grow from this experience and will better display the character of a Chinese citizen,” Ms Zuo wrote in the posting dated on Monday.</p></blockquote>
<p>Following the criticism of the ads, the Milan designers cancelled a Shanghai runway show last year meant as a tribute to China, as their guest list of Asian celebrities joined protests.</p>
<p>Many Chinese social media users called the advertisements racist and based on outdated stereotypes.</p>
<p>Co-founders Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana went on camera to apologise.</p>
<p><a href="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2F573D21-F0F8-43DA-BF3F-1414D5B48D77.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-124560" src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2F573D21-F0F8-43DA-BF3F-1414D5B48D77.jpeg" alt="" width="600" height="474" /></a></p>
<p>The pair appeared in a nearly one-and-a-half-minute video posted on Weibo, saying they hoped to be forgiven and will do their best to better understand and respect Chinese culture.</p>
<p>The advertisement controversy was aggravated by insulting remarks made on the Instagram accounts of both the company and Gabbana against China and Chinese people.</p>
<p>The company blamed hackers for the Instagram comments.</p>
