Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's wedding 'being sponsored by Dolce & Gabbana'

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's wedding is reportedly being sponsored by Dolce & Gabbana in a deal said to be worth millions.

The high-end Italian fashion house, which has been hit with controversies over the years, will allegedly be splashed across the entire celebration.

Members of the Kardashian and Jenner family have been spotted wearing the brand's clothing against the stunning backdrop of the Italian Riviera this weekend.

As part of the exclusive arrangement, wedding guests will travel from their hotels to Portofino harbour in a fleet of wooden Riva speedboats decked out with Dolce & Gabbana furnishings.

A few years ago, designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were called out for launching a campaign which shows an Asian model trying to eat Italian food with chopsticks.

The model fails to pick up a giant cannoli using the utensils, and then she is asked by a male voice over if it's "too big".

In 2012, white models were sent down a runway wearing earrings which looked like colonial "Blackamoor" statues - which were usually a slave or servant.

The following year, Gabbana turned up to a party in blackface.

Despite being openly gay themselves, in 2015 they said that they both were against the idea of gay couples adopting.

And then a year later, they released a pair of shoes called "Slave Sandal".

Once they arrive at the harbour they will walk through a tunnel carved into a hillside, which is where a lift will take them to the Castello Brown fortress - where the wedding will take place.

The MailOnline revealed that the Italian fashion house has been very closely involved with the organisation of the wedding.

Stefano and Domenico are very close with the Kardashians and have sent staff members to the Italian hotspot to oversee the preparation.

A pop up shop called Galleria d'Arte has also been erected especially for the wedding.

An insider working for the brand told MailOnline: "The opening of the shop is entirely due to the wedding'".

The staff member added that the shop would stay open for three months after.

When a staff member was asked about the Kardashians using his boss' boat, he said that he enjoys having guests.

Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner were all spotted in rare vintage outfits from the fashion house when they arrived for a pre-wedding meal.

Kim, 41, wore an off-the-shoulder black maxi dress and her hair remains a striking platinum blonde.

Khloe, 37, flaunted her incredible figure in knee-high boots and a shoulder-less chocolate brown dress that tied up over her chest.
