From Reuters/Huffington Post, where you can read more on the story:
Fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were each given a reduced, suspended sentence of 18 months in jail on Wednesday for a conviction on charges of hiding hundreds of millions of euros from Italian tax authorities.
Italy’s appeals court upheld a verdict issued last June against the pair, who are as famous as the stars they dress, on charges of using Luxembourg holding company Gado to avoid paying taxes on royalties of about 1 billion euros ($1.38 billion).
The sentence was reduced from 20 months because the statute of limitations applied to certain facts in the case.
A lawyer for Dolce and Gabbana, who have always denied any wrongdoing, said they would appeal the decision. “I am speechless. We are all shocked. The judgment is inexplicable and we will appeal,” Massimo Dinoia said after the judgment.
A Milan prosecutor had asked the court in March to clear the pair, who – in a protest last year at being “pilloried” – closed the Milan shops where they sell clothes and accessories inspired by Dolce’s native Sicily.
The previous decision, by a lower court, handed the duo suspended jail sentences of 20 months each and imposed a fine of up to 10 million euros over avoidance of the payments in Italy, where corporate taxes are among the highest in Europe.
The case stems from an investigation that began in 2008 when Italian tax authorities stepped up their fight against tax evasion as a global financial crisis began to bite.

While we should be seeing some designs in June, the actual release for Kanye West’s first collaboration with adidas is delayed until sometime at the top of 2015. From High Snobiety:
One of the most interesting parts of [Kanye West’s speech at adidas’ Global Brand Conference] is the one where he mentions that the upcoming Kanye West x adidas collection will release in June. Internal sources have told us now that in June, West will be presenting internally his collection. That means that they are currently working on design and are planning to be finished in June, with the official release actually only planned for Spring 2015. Potentially there will be a first sneaker coming in Fall/Winter 2014, but even that is not confirmed yet. The full collection release is for now realistically planned for January/February 2015.
