Dolce & Gabbana
The main idea behind Dolce & Gabbana jewelry is: To imagine rediscovering inside a secret jewelry box, some jewelry full of great history and value, these handmade jewelers are reinterpreted by new generations with new eyes and a new attitude to wearing them.
The renowned Italian designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have transformed their Mediterranean-inspired vision into a billion-dollar global empire.
Their partnership began when Dolce reached out to the fashion house where Gabbana worked. Gabbana took on a mentorship role, and after completing his mandatory military service, they started a design consultancy together. This eventually led to the creation of the “Dolce & Gabbana” brand, which made its runway debut at Milan Fashion Week in 1985.
Over time, the duo expanded their offerings, introducing knitwear and accessories. They became known for their sensual dresses and menswear, earning them the 1991 Woolmark Prize. In the early ’90s, pop icon Madonna chose them to design costumes for her “Girlie” world tour, and she famously wore one of their jewel-studded corsets at the Cannes Film Festival. Throughout the 1990s, Dolce & Gabbana gained recognition for their bold, feminine designs, which contrasted sharply with the minimalist trends of the era. They often featured ordinary people from their native Italy in campaigns and runway shows. The duo’s portfolio has also included collaborations with AC Milan and Motorola, and they have published numerous books showcasing their collections and lasting influence.
