Dolce & Gabbana is an Italian luxury house founded in 1985 by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, who met working in Giorgio Correggiari's studio. Its design language mixes Dolce's Sicilian tailoring background with Gabbana's styling: black lace and corsetry, religious iconography, floral and leopard prints, heavy ornamentation. The independently owned group covers ready-to-wear, leather goods, eyewear, watches and jewellery, Alta Moda couture, beauty (in-house since 2022), interiors and hospitality. Alfonso Dolce is CEO; Gucci and Prada veteran Stefano Cantino joined as co-CEO in 2026, with revenue around €1.9 billion.
