Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce were gushing over 17-year-old singing sensation Justin Bieber’s sense of style at the party they threw for him at their restaurant, Gold, after his concert in Milan on Saturday night. ‘It might be slightly premature to talk about a style icon, but it’s impossible to deny that he’s a model for his peers,’ Dolce said.
