about

Dolce & Gabbana SpA is a high-end designer company owned by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. Their first collection launched to international acclaim in 1986, and it wasn�t before knitwear (1987), beachwear (1988), lingerie (1989), and accessories were added. Dolce & Gabbana are very popular for their designs in the Hollywood industry. The company is based in Milan. Its first store in the United States opened in March 1995 in the upscale shopping mecca �the Galleria� in Houston�s fashion district. Since then, a boom in interest in their clothes has called for openings of their boutiques in other major cosmopolitan cities all over the world. Their boutiques have became a symbol of high fashion and couture. Dolce & Gabbana is organized into two central brands. �D&G� and �Dolce & Gabbana� D&G generally forms the groups more casual lines with cheaper prices. Dolce & Gabbana centralizes on haute couture and espensive price tags. Within each brand is �Beachwear� and separately �Dolce & Gabbana underwear�. Earning remarkable financial success (despite the prevalence of fraudulent D&G merchandise), the duo even crossed over into the music world, recording a techno single in 1996 with the words "D&G is love."
