Dolce & Gabbana is an Italian luxury fashion house. The company was started by the Italian designers Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana in Milan, Italy. By 2005 their turnover was €750 million. Their clothing designs are usually black in color and geometric in shape.
Dolce&Gabbana (spelled without spaces, unlike the name of the company,) specializes in luxury items, is influenced more by designers and is more formal and ‘timeless’, responding to long-term trends rather than seasonal changes. It also sells sunglasses and corrective eyewear, purses, and watches.
D&G is a slightly more casual line that follows an urban inspiration and attempts to set trends rather than follow them. It is the younger, more flamboyant line of the brand. Like Dolce&Gabbana, D&G sells watches as well as clothing, and have been voted the U.K’s best luxury brand. In 2005–2006, a limited line of 1000 golden D&G Motorola RAZR V3i mobile phones was distributed by D&G boutiques and major Motorola retailers. In July 2009 D&G signed a lucrative deal with singer Alexandra Burke which will see her model their fashion lines in her music videos and in promotions.
