Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have been found been found innocent of tax evasion. The highest court in Italy ruled the two designers - who have spent almost four years attending court appearances and indictments for the charges - not guilty, overturning two previous sentences at lower courts.

The twosome were indicted for alleged tax fraud in 2010 but have always maintained their innocence. In April of this year, the court found them guilty and sentenced each to 20 months in prison, but by May they announced their intention to appeal, calling the sentence "inexplicable".
