Dolce & Gabbana

Dolce & Gabbana is an Italian luxury industry fashion house founded in 1985 by designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, hence the name Dolce & Gabbana! They showcased their first women’s collection in 1985 in Milan! Since that time the Dolce & Gabbana line has flourished into being one of the top fashion brands in the world! They have ventured into all areas of fashion from Women's to Men's, Kids, Accessories of all kinds, and have even flourished in the beauty department!

 Originally inspired by an eclectic, thrift shop named Bohemia. Dolce & Gabbana's intensely colored, animal prints have been described as "haute hippy dom" which lead to the inspiration to Italy's impressive film history. Domenico Dolce stated that, "When we design it's like a movie". "We think of a story and we design the clothes to go with it." Their goal is to create the best, most flattering clothes rather than competing with the sparking trends.

Celebrities all over wear the Italian luxury line!

Dolce & Gabbana have received lots of controversy over the years with their over the top ad campaigns. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) criticized them in January 2007, for an advertising campaign showing models brandishing knives. Not to mention what is said to be one of the most controversial advertisements in fashion history, with their advertisement in Spain that displayed a man holding a woman to the ground by her wrists while a group of men look on. That is just to name a couple, but regardless of all the controversy, they have definitely made major history with their beautiful collections along with making their brand and all accessories something to be desired!

Just yesterday, Saturday November 3rd, 2012 it was released that Dolce & Gabbana are launching their new Animalier collection – just in time to stuff those Christmas stockings. The limited-edition contains a leopard-print motif that is an essential part of the designers' sexy, appealing image, that they are so great at pulling off! The range consists of glow bronzing powder, smooth eye colour quad in Desert 123, and lipstick in iconic 210, exclusive to Harrods.
