G&G 的時裝今天不是大眾的焦點。
英文有個常用的文法,就是用代名詞 It 作主詞,將主要講述的內容放在句子的較後部份。It 的作用只是一個 dummy pronoun。
It wasn't the fashion at Dolc & Gabbana that was in the spotlight today.
另一個寫法是
The fashion at Dolc & Gabbana wasn't in the spotlight today.
真正的主詞是 The fashion at Dolc & Gabbana。
將真正的主詞放於 It + verb to be 後可以強調主詞。
It was John who scored for the home team.
=John scored for the home team.
It has been three years since I last heard from him.
=Three years have passed since I last heard from him.
It is not money that we care most.
=Money is not our main concern.
It + verb to be 放於形容詞之前。
It is necessary that they put more funds in the project.
= They need to put more funds in the project.
= That they put more funds in the project is necessary.
It is difficult for us to climb up the mountain.
= We find it difficult to climb up the mountain.
= To climb up the mountain is difficult for us.
這些句中 It 沒有特別代表芋一名詞,而是用來引出主要講的內容,It 就是一個 dummy pronoun。

How can "It" refer to the gathering of people? The gathering of people was never mentioned in the sentence.

In the context of the given sentence, "it" is a dummy pronoun.
What the news was about was not of significance to the sentence proper.
At least, we cannot replace "it" with "the gathering of people".
