Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana couldn't care less about criticism it's received for supporting first lady Melania Trump.

Dolce & Gabanna is a go-to brand for Trump. She wore the designer's clothes in her first official White House portrait and to meet Pope Francis.

And in May, there was public outcry after Trump wore a $51,500 Dolce & Gabbana jacket.

Now, the fashion brand is turning backlash its received into a mock fashion campaign it's calling #BoycottDolceGabbana.

It's even gone so far as to create boycott T-shirts that will sell for almost $250.

Plenty of other designers — including Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford and Zac Posen — have stated they won't dress Trump.

For first ladies, fashion is about more than just putting on a pretty outfit.

Though, in some ways, those choices are irrelevant because first ladies aren't technically supposed to accept free clothes from designers. So Trump can purchase whatever she likes.

Dolce & Gabbana's support could mean even more now that Trump is living in the White House — a place her fashion choices will be a lot more visible.

Case in point: In all of the photos of her moving in, she's wearing — what else — a top by Dolce & Gabbana.
