The US arm of Dolce & Gabbana dodged a class-action lawsuit over an alleged NFT project abandonment by its parent company. New York federal court dismissed the suit, stating Dolce & Gabbana USA Inc. wasn’t an “alter ego” of Dolce & Gabbana SRL. Plaintiffs claimed over $25 million was kept from the failed DGFamily NFT project.

The lawsuit against Dolce & Gabbana claimed the company, along with UNXD, promised benefits through the DGFamily NFT project but failed to deliver. Alleged perks included digital outfits for Decentraland, physical clothing, and live events for NFT holders. The suit accused Dolce & Gabbana of keeping millions from NFT sales.

Dolce & Gabbana USA argued it wasn’t involved in NFTs, filing a motion to dismiss in January. The firm stated it wasn’t connected to the actions of its Italian parent company and hadn’t entered into any joint venture for NFTs. The complaint failed to establish ties between the US and Italian entities regarding the NFT project.

Judge Buchwald ruled that the lawsuit didn’t adequately differentiate between Dolce & Gabbana USA and the Italian firm. She noted an overlap in ownership and personnel but said the suit lacked specific examples of involvement in the NFT project. The judge found the plaintiff hadn’t proven complete domination of Dolce & Gabbana USA by the Italian company.
