Dolce & Gabbana History
Domenico Dolce was born on 13th of August 1958 in Polizzi, Generosa , Italy.
He got an early start in the fashion design business working for his father's small company.
Stefano Gabbana, was born on the 14 November 1962 in Milan.
He began his career studying graphic design but soon turned his attention to fashion.
Domenico and Stefano spent two years working as assistant designers but one day decided that they wanted to start their own design studio.
In 1982, they both had ideas to bring to the clothes they designed and it was believed that Dolce's ties to Sicily inspired many of their fashions.
In 1985 the two men got their first breakthrough when they were between three names chosen to present their collections in the new talents category at the shows held in Milan.
In 1987 the business grew in size, the Dolce & Gabbana designers found it necessary to move their operations to a larger showroom
In 1988 a big success came for Dolce & Gabbana when they signed an agreement with the Onward Kashiyama Group and began distributing their designs in Japan. In 1989 they came out with their first lingerie and beachwear outfits followed by a menswear collection in 1990. Further agreements were signed to design the Complice line for the Genny group. They established boutiques, first in Milan, then in Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipei and Seoul.
In 1992 Dolce & Gabbana launched a perfume, which won the Perfume Academy International Prize for the best female fragrance the following year.
The two latest fashion collections to come are Dolce & Gabbana Basic and covers a wide array of their classic designs.
In 2005 Dolce and Gabbana announced that they would split up after 19 years but still remain friends.
