| Known for making ‘stars look like stars’, Italian designers Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana’s sexy styles are often to be seen on the likes of Isabella Rossellini, Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman and Madonna. Partners, both in life and in business, the pair met while working as assistants in an atelier in Milan and made their name together in 1985, when the organisers of the Milano Collezioni invited them to take part
in a fashion show to launch ‘New Talents’. D&G trademarks include underwear-as-outerwear (such as corsets and bra fastenings), gangster boss pinstripe suits, extravagantly printed and embroidered coats. They have expanded into fragrances, underwear, handbags, shoes, swimwear, eyewear, and jeans. The label is known for signatures like corset dresses, leopard print, and sexy, sleek three-piece pantsuits. The buyer of D&G can be anybody
from Hollywood’s elite to a suburban grandmother; it comes in all tastes and is luxurious and fashionable. Dabbling sometimes in risky styles, Dolce & Gabbana has a group of followers unlike any other brand. Though very new to the fashion world in comparison to most high-end companies, thanks to their cutting edge and inspiring fashion so far, the brand has made a good beginning. |
