On Sunday, she took to Instagram to congratulate her younger brother Braison on his debut as a fashion model for Italian brand [Dolce & Gabbana](http://motto.time.com/4665150/lady-gaga-super-bowl-body-shaming-gabbana/), walking the runway for their Spring Summer 2018 show in Milan. But even while complimenting Braison on his nascent modeling career, Cyrus made a pointed remark about the Dolce & Gabbana brand that did not sit well with the designers. “… It is a Cyrus family trait to try everything once… and to embrace opportunities that encourage you to step out of your comfort zone,” she wrote. “We believe in trying something new everyday! \[sic\]!” She then added: “P.S. D&G, I STRONGLY disagree with your politics…. but I do support your company’s effort to celebrate young artists & give them the platform to shine their light for all to see!” In the last few years, Dolce & Gabbana have engaged in a millennials-targeted campaign, hiring celebrity offspring like [Rafferty Law](http://time.com/4727100/tyler-clinton-model/), [Tyler Clinton](http://time.com/4727100/tyler-clinton-model/), and [Levi Dylan](http://time.com/4658477/bob-dylan-grandson/?iid=sr-link1) to walk their shows. But controversy has sprung up around their willingness to [dress First Lady Melania Trump](http://motto.time.com/4621785/melania-trump-dolce-gabbana-dress/), a stance many brands have avoided. In the past, the brand has also found itself in hot water over [controversial shows](http://time.com/3728185/dolce-and-gabbana-viva-la-mamma-milan-fashion-week/) and comments [ children born via IVF](http://time.com/3745411/elton-john-dolce-gabbana-boycott-gay-adoption-synthetic-children/). This time, [Stefano Gabbana](http://motto.time.com/4621785/melania-trump-dolce-gabbana-dress/), one of the brand’s founders, was not content to sit quiet after the “Malibu” singer the Instagram remark in their direction. Instead, he reposted Miley’s photo of Braison — with a strongly-worded caption of his own. “We are Italian and we don’t care about politics and mostly neither about the American one \[sic\],” he wrote. “We make dresses and if you think about doing politics with a post it’s simply ignorant. We don’t need your posts or comments so next time please ignore us!!” He added a series of crying-laughing emojis and the [ironic hashtag “#boycottdolcegabbana.”](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/06/14/trump-critics-are-boycotting-dolce-gabbana-the-brand-trolled-them-with-245-t-shirts/?utm%5Fterm=.330cffca462e) At one point, Miley was a D&G fan, even wearing one of their designs to an MTV Video Music Awards red carpet. But looks like that may be over at the moment.
