Dolce & Gabbana

Dolce & Gabbana is a luxury Italian fashion house founded in 1985 by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. The two quickly made an impact on the fashion world with their glamorous, sexy clothing. Their corset dresses, for example, became their signature and gained them provocative publicity. The fashion house soon became famous and earned the loyalty of its customers, many of whom were celebrities, such as Madonna. They began wearing the brand's designs both offstage and during performances. Madonna, for example, even asked them to design costumes for her shows. Two brands: The Dolce & Gabbana company offers clothing under two brands: Dolce & Gabbana (officially spelled without spaces between the words in English), which focuses on luxury clothing, eyewear, accessories and fragrances; and D&G, a more casual and contemporary line of clothing, watches and fragrances. However, both brands use the "D&G" symbol, which is recognizable on many of their products. Dolce & Gabbana's first fragrance, simply called Dolce & Gabbana for Women, was launched in 1992. The men's version followed in 1994. The brand launched a series of fragrances, with its light blue fragrances, Light Blue for men and women, among its most successful. The D&G line launched the Anthology fragrance collection in 2009, inspired by tarot cards and advertised by some of the most recognizable faces in the fashion world.
