'To me and my family IVF is of the utmost importance . It is wrong for high-profile celebrities to make comments like this when it is crucial for families who ca n't have children . 'It 's rare to get such negative comments too . Traditional family is obviously great if it works , but IVF is great for families who ca n't conceive . 'That 's just the bottom line.These treatments are available to us and we should be celebrating it . `` We should be developing it to make it more successful and available to other people . 'They were never a company I 've shopped with before , so this is more like a continuous boycott , as I will continue to not shop there . ' Charlotte won the coveted Miss England crown in 2012 . However , Italian fashion designers Dolce and Gabbana have insisted they 'respect all the world ' after their controversial remarks on fertility treatments infuriated Sir Elton John . The pop star called for a boycott of the famous brand after designer Domenico Dolce criticised in-vitro fertilization ( IVF ) , which sparked outrage on social media .

'It is impossible to change my culture for something different . It 's me ... I respect all the world , all the culture . ' Good looks have helped Charlotte make succeed as a model . The fashion designer had previously said : 'You are born and you have a father and mother . At least it should be like that . That 's why I 'm not convinced by what I call chemical children , synthetic babies .

'Your archaic thinking is out of step with the times , just like your fashions . I shall never wear Dolce and Gabbana ever again . # BoycottDolceGabbana .
