The Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana was founded in Milan in 1985 by designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. The brand is known for its opulent, sensual, and dramatic style, heavily inspired by Sicilian culture and Mediterranean Baroque. Corset-like dresses, lace, black, striking gold embellishments, and folkloric elements are characteristic of the collections. From the outset, the duo celebrated a strong, ultra-feminine, and confident womanhood and quickly established themselves in the international fashion world. Unlike many other luxury brands, Dolce & Gabbana remains privately owned by its two founders. Despite various controversies in recent years, the brand maintains its position as one of the most recognizable and prominent voices in Italian fashion. It remains relevant through its elaborate, handcrafted designs and its distinctive, often theatrical aesthetic. The brand continues to be popular worldwide and a symbol of Italian glamour and lavish luxury.
