History
Domenico Dolce, was born on August 13, 1958 in Polizzi Generosa, Italy,
and Stefano Gabbana was born on November 14, 1962, in Venice, Italy.
As students, Gabbana studied graphic design, but Dolce received a fashion
education, studying in Venice and working in the small clothing factory
his family owned. In 1980, the duo met when they worked at the same
atelier in Venice. They began to do freelance design in 1982, when they
began doing business together. When their first collection was shown
in 1986, it received acclaim from around the globe. Four years later,
they revealed their premiere menswear collection and opened a women's
boutique in Milan. Also in 1990, they started designing for the Complice
line for the Genny Group in Milan. Recently, the fashion house published
a book chronicling 10 years of Dolce & Gabbana history. Dolce & Gabbana
are on the same line of couture houses of Armani, Versace, Gucci, Prada
and Moschino. Dolce and Gabbana announced on the 20th February 2005
that they would split up after 19 years. Stefano Gabbana said that "This
is a love split, not a business split,". Moreover he said "Domenico
and I are still very good friends and, as for the working relationship,
we are still very much together. Business, in fact, has never been better."
In 2005, in partnership with Motorola Dolce & Gabbana S.p.A. branded
a gold limited edition (1000 produced) RAZR V3i, it is available exclusively
