The feud between Kourtney Kardashian and Dolce & Gabbana has been making waves recently and everyone is talking about it. The disagreement has its roots in a complex mix of individual and professional grievances.
Kourtney got married to Travis Barker in a lavish Dolce & Gabbana-themed wedding in Portofino, Italy. Kourtney felt it was a deliberate affront when her sister Kim Kardashian collaborated with the fashion house.
Kourtney's wedding was a grand affair that saw a good number of guests attired in Dolce & Gabbana outfits. Her working relationship with the iconic Italian designers made Kourtney feel a deep personal connection to the brand. This is especially because she considers it a symbol of her special day and lifestyle.

However, tensions flared when Kim announced her collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana for a runway show in Milan. The event would feature a collection curated by Kim from the brand’s archives.
Kourtney's Feelings of Betrayal
Kourtney expressed her frustration, saying, "It feels awful that my sister used my wedding as a business opportunity. She chose the money over me."
She felt that Kim had disregarded the significance of her wedding and copied the essence of her celebration for personal gain. The tension intensified when Kim did not ask for Kourtney's blessing before proceeding with the deal. As a result, Kourtney felt even more betrayed.
Kim, on the other hand, was puzzled by Kourtney's intense reaction, asserting that their sister Kylie Jenner had also done a campaign with Dolce & Gabbana without any backlash from Kourtney. Kim remarked, "I think she sees everything that I had there and takes it for her own."
She implied that Kourtney’s issue stemmed more from their sibling rivalry than from the actual business deal.

Emotional Conversations and Family Mediation
During a conversation with her sister Kendall Jenner, Kourtney broke down. She said that the conflict was not just about business but about feeling genuinely hurt by their sister's actions. She believed that Kim's move was disrespectful to her and her feelings. This emotional reaction exposed deep-rooted issues at play between the duo.
Khloe Kardashian and family friend Simon Huck tried to mediate. They encouraged Kourtney to express her feelings directly to Kim. Kourtney admitted that talking to Kim felt "intolerable" because Kim often appeared disengaged and uninterested in resolving their issues. Kourtney felt increasingly frustrated as she perceived Kim's habitual disregard for family loyalty and consideration.

Despite the ongoing drama, the sisters managed to maintain a façade of civility at family events. At Kim's birthday bash, they avoided the topic entirely, though the underlying tension was palpable. This episode highlights how personal and professional lines often blur in their relationship. Consequently, conflicts resonate deeply on both sides.
The Kardashian feud over Dolce & Gabbana represented the challenges of working around family dynamics in the public eye, where personal milestones and professional opportunities can become sources of contention. As the saga continues to unfold, we will see whether Kourtney and Kim can reconcile their differences.
