History

Dolce & Gabbana was founded in 1985 in Milan by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, building its identity around bold Mediterranean glamour, Catholic iconography, and hyper-sensual Italian tailoring.

The brand became famous in the 1990s and 2000s for body-con dresses, sharp suiting, corsetry, and provocative advertising that celebrated excess, sexuality, and drama.

Dolce & Gabbana helped define the era’s idea of luxury as loud, confident, and unapologetically theatrical.
