Timeline
Domenico Mario Assunto Dolce (born 13 August 1958) is an Italian fashion designer and entrepreneur.
Dolce was born in Polizzi Generosa, Sicily, in 1958.
His father was a tailor and his mother sold fabrics and apparel.
He moved to Milan to attend the fashion design school Istituto Marangoni, but he dropped out before graduating, confident he knew enough to work in the industry.
His dream was to work for Armani.
In 1983, Gabbana and Dolce left Correggiari to work on their own; two years later, they launched Dolce & Gabbana S.p.A. (D&G).
Since founding D&G in 1985, Dolce has become one of the world's most influential fashion designers and an industry icon.
In October 1985, the Dolce & Gabbana brand made its fashion show debut at Milano Collezioni's Nuovi Talenti (New Talents).
In March 1986, D&G released its first collection and held its own show, "Real Women."
In 1987, the first D&G store opened in Milan, at 7 Via Santa Cecilia.
In 1988, D&G established a partnership with Dolce's father, Saverio, who owned the manufacturing company Dolce Saverio in Legnano, near Milan.
D&G continued to expand, holding its first fashion shows in Tokyo (April 1989) and New York (April 1990), and releasing new collection lines, including its first lingerie and beachwear line in July 1989, and its first menswear line in January 1990.
In November 1990, D&G opened its New York City showroom at 532 Broadway in SoHo, Manhattan.
Their first fashion award, the International Woolmark Prize, came in 1991.
D&G released its first fragrance, Dolce & Gabbana Parfum, in October 1992.
In 1993, the Italian designers received worldwide fame when Madonna chose D&G to design the costumes for her Girlie Show World Tour.
Later additions to the D&G line included ties, belts, handbags, sunglasses, watches and footwear.
In 1993, their Dolce & Gabbana Parfum was named the Best Fragrance of the Year.
The couple made its coming out in 1999.
By 2003, the company overcame Armani, Gucci, Prada, and Versace in Italy domestic market.
They ended their long-time relationship in 2003, but the pair still work together at D&G.
In 2009, nearly 25 years after D&G opened, the company had 113 stores and 21 factory outlets, a staff of 3,500 people and an annual turnover of more than €1 billion.
Dolce and Gabbana were an open couple for many years.
In 2009, the City of Milan awarded them the Ambrogino Gold medal; in 2014, they announced intentions to return it after a city council member called them tax evaders.
In 2013, both Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were convicted of tax evasion and sentenced to a 20-month suspended sentence in prison.
An Italian court found the pair guilty of failing to declare millions of euros of revenue earned through a D&G subsidiary company, Gado, based in Luxembourg.
They denied the charges and appealed the case; in October 2014, they were both cleared of wrongdoing by the appellate court.
In 2014, the La Fondazione NY, a charity aimed at supporting young Italian and American artists, honoured Gabbana, Dolce and film director Baz Luhrmann at its third awards gala at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York City.
As of October 2015, Dolce was the 27th richest person in Italy with a net worth of approximately US$1.74 billion, according to Forbes.
In March 2015, Dolce's comments about in vitro fertilization (IVF) sparked a social media storm of criticism.
In an interview with Panorama magazine, Dolce said, "I am gay. I cannot have a child. I believe you cannot have everything in life.... You are born from a father and a mother. Or at least that is how it should be. For this reason I am not convinced by what I call children of chemistry, or synthetic children. Uteruses for rent, sperm chosen from a catalogue."
British singer-songwriter Elton John, who has children by IVF with his husband David Furnish, called for a boycott of the D&G brand.
This sparked a war of words, with Gabbana later calling John a "fascist" and calling for a counter-boycott.
He ended up apologizing for his remark.
Gabbana and Dolce have received numerous honours for their fashion and cultural contributions.
Following their success, they lived in a 19th-century villa in Milan, and owned several properties on the French Riviera.
They also own a villa in Portofino.
