Dolce & Gabbana Snapshot
Life is sweet for those who can afford to wear Dolce & Gabbana. Named after the Italian designers who founded the company, Dolce & Gabbana offers eponymous and D&G Junior branded men's and women's collections of apparel, leather goods, accessories (scarves, ties, hats), and footwear, donned by the rich and famous. It licenses its brand names for fragrances, eyewear, and jewelry but controls most of its production and distribution. The firm has boutiques around the world, including more than 120 company-owned locations in Italy; others are run by distributors. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, who first introduced their own label in 1985 while still in their 20s, own Dolce & Gabbana.
