An Italian fashion blogger-turned-businesswoman has apologised after being fined 1 million euros ($1.1m) by Italy's anti-trust authority for improperly communicating a charitable contribution tied to sales of a traditional Christmas cake sold with her logo.
In an Instagram post on 18 December, Chiara Ferragni said she would donate 1 million euros to the Regina Margherita Hospital in Turin to give “concreteness” to her apology, but she said she would challenge the fine itself.
