Why is it called Dolce & Gabbana?

Why it is called Dolce & Gabbana comes down to the history of the luxury fashion house. Specifically, two fashion designers, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, founded the maison. After meeting in Milan in 1980 while working for Italian designer Giorgio Correggiari, Dolce and Gabbana established their eponymous fashion empire in 1982. Three years later, a breakthrough for the duo materialized in the form of an up-and-coming talent showcase at Milan Fashion Week, where they unveiled an approach to fashion design that broke sharply from that of the era’s reigning Italian houses. Soon, their distinctive garments — sexy, feathery skirts and stretchy jersey evening dresses that favored full figures — demanded the fashion world’s undivided attention.
