The first collection of the design duo was featured in October 1985 along with five other Italian labels on the rise as part of Milan Fashion Week. Both did not have enough money to hire models or provide accessories for them, so they sought help from their friends. The models (their friends) just put on their personal items to complete the clothes. They use the bed sheets that Dolce brought from home as their stage curtains.
The couple labeled their first collection of True Women , in part because of the use of local women as a model on the runway. The sale from their first collection was quite disappointing because Gabbana canceled the fabric orders they made to make their second collection. However, the Dolce family offered to help meet their costs when the two visited them in Sicily over Christmas, while by coincidence, the fabric company did not receive a timely cancellation notice so the fabric was ready for them back in Milan after their return. They produced their next collection in 1986 and opened their first store that same year. Michael Gross writes about their third collection in a 1992 interview, "They are a secret known only to a handful of Italian fashion editors, some of their models changing behind the rickety screens, calling their collections of cotton T-shirts and elastic silk, Transformation. "The clothes in this collection come with instructions on seven different ways a piece can be worn in clothing, because the wearer can use Velcro and buttons to change the shape of the outfit.
Their fourth collection is the first to make a significant impact on the Italian fashion market. In this collection, Dolce draws on her Sicilian roots. The collection's ad campaign was taken by photographer Ferdinando Scianna in Sicily, and featured Dutch model Marpessa Hennink in black and white images inspired by Italian cinemas of the 1940s. They continued the use of Italian cinema as an inspiration in their fifth collection, drawing on the work of filmmaker Luchino Visconti and his movie The Leopard.
One part of their fourth collection was labeled "The Sicilian Dress" by the fashion press, and was named by the author of Hal Rubenstein as one of the 100 most important dresses ever designed. It is considered the most representative part of this era for brands. Rubenstein describes this work in 2012 by writing, "The Sicilian dress is the essence of Dolce & Gabbana, the key stone of this brand history.The dress takes a cue from the slip - but it's the slip that adorns Anna Magnani, and that is the silhouette. adorn Anita Ekberg, Sophia Loren, [and so on.] The straps fit the body like a bra strap, the neckline runs straight across but gets the way at least twice, once on each side to caress each breast and in the middle to meet tuck a lift that gives a gentle boost Slip not only slid down but comes at the waist to hold the figure firmly but not too tightly and then widen to emphasize the hip, only to fall with a slight taper on the knee to ensure that the hips will sway when the wearer is walking. "
The 1980s and 1990s
In 1987, both launched separate knitting lines and in 1989, they began designing lingerie lines and beachwear lines. Two years later, they launched a tricot line. In 1989, Dolce & amp; Gabbana opened their first store in Japan in partnership with Kashiyama Co. They started exporting their products to the United States, where they set up their own showrooms in 1990. In 1992, the same year when they presented their men's collection, they also launched the first perfume Dolce & Gabbana. They won the "Oscar des Parfums" for best male perfume in 1996 from French Parfum Academy, for the first time that the title was awarded to the Italian brand. By the end of the 1990s their sales were about $ 500 million and in 2003 alone, their revenues totaled $ 633.2 million. In 1990, they launched their first collection of men. That year, they also moved the design house to its first official office and began designing more expensive dresses and other pieces besides their original clothes. Their Spring/Summer 1990 ladies collection refers to Raphael's mythology, and the duo began to build a reputation for crystal-studded clothing. The 1991 Fall/Winter women's collection is also decorated by knick-knacks, including filigree medals and a decorated corset. The Fall/Winter 1992 ladies' collection was later inspired by the 1950s silver screen, although the collection still includes body clothes decorated with crystals.
In 1991, their men's collection was awarded the Woolmark Award for the most innovative men's collection of the year. What was considered their first introduction into international recognition came when Madonna wore a corset made of gemstones and an accompanying jacket from Dolce & amp; Gabbana at premiere 1991 New York City Truth or Dare: In Bed with Madonna . The duo then partnered with Madonna in 1993 to design more than 1500 costumes for the Girlie Show international artist tour in support of his 1992 album Erotica . In an interview about the costume, Madonna stated that, "Their clothes are sexy with a sense of humor - like me." In 1994, the home-traded double-breasted jacket was named "La Turlington" after Christy Turlington's model. In the same year, the company launched its second major line - D & amp; G, a line intended for younger individuals. In 1996, the runway show D & amp; G is only broadcast on the Internet and not on the runway, in an experimental motion to new media. That year, Dolce & amp; Gabbana also designed a costume for the movie Romeo Juliet .
In the film industry, both Dolce & amp; Gabbana appeared in the 1995 movie The Star Maker (L'Uomo delle Stelle) by director Giuseppe Tornatore, playing a minor role as an extra. They appeared in a more significant cameo role in Rob Marshall's film adaptation of Nine . As a stylist, they also work on the music video of Girl Panic! by Duran Duran.
In terms of market expansion, in 1989, Dolce & amp; Gabbana signed an agreement with Kashiyama group to open their first boutique in Japan. They released their first perfume for women in 1992, called "Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme", which was awarded the 1993 Perfume Academy award for the best feminine aroma of the year. Their first male aroma, "Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme", was the recipient of the best masculine fragrance of this year's awards from the same Academy in 1995. That year Dolce & Gabbana's collection caused controversy with the British and Italian press, when they chose American gangster motifs as inspiration for their work. Dolce & amp; Gabbana diverted this 1995 Autumn/Winter inspiration to women's clothing, which critics say brings an erotic edge to clothing. The duo had used this motif earlier in 1992 when photographer Steven Meisel shot an ad campaign for the home in which the models featured in "gangster chic". This includes a wide 1930s style coat and black leather hat.
The author Nirupama Pundir states that, "Dolce & Gabbana, in their superfeminine and fantastical style, broke away from the serious and clear-minded mode that dominated during most of the nineties."
2000s
Dolce & amp; Gabbana continued to work with Madonna, designing costumes for her Drowning World Tour in 2001, to support her 2000 album Music .

The duo continued to design costumes for musical artists during the 2000s, including costumes for Kylie Minogue's Showgirl Homecoming tour. Madonna also participates in Dolce & amp; Gabbana ad campaign in 2010.
In the 2000s, Dolce & amp; Gabbana takes a lot of inspiration from the sport of football as well. In 2003, the male line took its main inspiration from the world's great soccer stars. Other art forms are beginning to take inspiration from Dolce & amp; Gabbana too. In 2003 the music artist Frankie Knuckles said that the fashion house is a "big barometer" for trends in both fashion and music. As for its impact on the design world, in 2002 the corset was an important part of Dolce & amp; Gabbana's initial design was revived by many of Europe's major designers as a trend. In recent years, Dolce & amp; Gabbana has started holding a private spectacle of their new collections for buyers, to sell their collections before they become public and to prevent copying of their designs by fast fashion companies.
In 2005 their turnover was EUR597 million. In 2006, the company started a new journey in accessories and leather goods for men and women. The company is also engaged in cosmetics, with Scarlett Johansson as the face of an advertising campaign.

Dolce & amp; Gabbana
Dolce & amp; Gabbana (spelled without spaces, unlike my name) specializes in luxury items inspired by high design and is more formal and 'timeless', responding to long-term trends and seasonal changes.

Ad campaigns
The ad for the first woman's perfume from Dolce & amp; Gabbana ran for several years in Italy, created by filmmaker Giuseppe Tornatore, printed by Ennio Morricone, and movie star Monica Bellucci. A 30-second advertisement begins with a man slapping an octopus against a rock back from a tidal pool. He stood up and looked around at different women about their daily lives. A woman (Bellucci) was seen changing her 1950s style swimwear behind a piece of white cloth held by two other women. After she changes, she throws her bra over a prickly pear cactus and walks into the ocean. Then he was seen lying on a well-made bed, and the man who saw him standing outside the window, holding the bra up to his nose. Film closed with Dolce & amp; A bottle of Gabbana fragrance with a black background. In 2003, Dolce & amp; Gabbana Sicilian perfume is advertised in other ads about the Sicilian funeral, which was also directed by Giuseppe Tornatore.
Gisele BÃÆ'¼ndchen starred in the 2006 commercial for "The One" perfume, featuring Bundchen in front of a make-up mirror, with the flash of a group of interspersed cameramen; she then wore a gold dress, shoes, and a pair of D & amp; G.

In 2004 they won for the 2003/04 Winter/Winter campaign and in 2006 they won for their 2005/06 Fall/Winter campaign.
Inspiration and style
Initially inspired by the eclectic, bohemian shopping style, Dolce & amp; The very deep color Gabbana animals described as "haute hippy dom" takes its inspiration particularly from the history of the prestigious Italian film. "When we designed it like a movie (Domenico)," said Domenico Dolce. "We thought of a story and we designed clothes to go with him (Domenico)." They claim to be more concerned about creating the best and most flattering outfits than to spark a trend, once admitted that they would not mind if their only contribution to fashion history is the black bra (Dolce & Gabbana 2007). Sicilian and Sicilian culture is the most important style and identity of Dolce & amp; Gabbana.
D & amp; The trademarks of G include underwear as outerwear (such as bodice and bra cuffs), gangster boss lines and over-printed coats. Meanwhile, their feminine collection is always supported by powerful advertising campaigns, such as black-and-white ads featuring Marpessa's model photographed by Ferdinando Scianna in 1987 (Dolce & Gabbana). "They found a way out of any black outfits, blouses with any buttons (Domenico)," Rossellini said. "Their first piece I wore was a white shirt, very sacred, but cut to make my breasts look as if they exploded out of it (Domenico)."
Once dubbed the "Gilbert and George of Italian fashion", Dolce & amp; Gabbana gave their fashion interest in 1996, recording their own single, in which they recited the words "D & amp; love" above the techno beat (Dolce & Gabbana 2011). New to design games from other heavyweight fashion houses such as Italy's Armani and Versace, the couple recognize that luck has played its part in their phenomenal success. In 1997, their company reported a turnover of EUR400 million, prompting both designers to announce that they plan to retire at age 40 - a promise they do not keep (Domenico).
After the designers found the Veneziano painting of Christ on the cross wearing a pair of their branded panties at the Venice Biennale, they assigned the artist to make their portraits with Madonna described as the likeness of chanteuse and cast of Madonna Ciccone and the abdi dalem as two putti at his feet.
In January 2016, the company launched a variety of high-end fashions aimed at wealthy Muslim women featuring hijab and abaya collectible printed with daisies, lemons and roses.

Controversy
Ads
Dolce & amp; Gabbana was criticized publicly by the advertising supervisor of the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in January 2007, for an advertising campaign featuring models that brandished a knife.
Following complaints from consumer groups in February 2007, Dolce & amp; Gabbana drew an ad in Spain that showed a man holding a woman to the ground with his wrist while a group of men noticed. The Spanish Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs branded the campaign as illegal and embarrassing for women, saying the woman's body position has nothing to do with Dolce & amp; Gabbana tried to sell. Italian publications follow, banning ads. This ad is called "rape gang breeding" and states "one of the most controversial ads in fashion history" by Debonair Magazine. When asked about ads that are banned in Spain, Dolce & amp; Gabbana replied that "the Spaniards are a bit backward." According to the Daily Mail, Dolce & amp; The Gabbana ad is said to "offend the woman's dignity."
This particular ad was raised seven years later by Kelly Cutrone, a famous fashion journalist, when she mentioned it on her Twitter account. According to Nextshark.com, "he slammed Dolce & Gabbana, claiming an ad, depicting a woman pinned to the group by a half-naked man as three men watched, simulating a 'gang bang'." According to Huffington Post UK, feminist writer Louise Pennington recently also commented on the picture. He stated that, "This particular image is representative of the increasingly misogynous controversy of women in the fashion industry that shows a very clear connection between the fashion-beauty industry and the mainstreaming of pornography, those who suggest this harmless image fail to recognize the reality of rape culture and dehumanization of the body women in our mainstream pornography media. "
Controversy banning Hong Kong photos
On January 5, 2012, Apple Daily reported that only Hong Kong residents were prevented from taking photos of Dolce & amp; Featuring Gabbana's window in their two Hong Kong stores, stirring Chinese anti-Mainland sentiment. Particularly the staff and security personnel at their main store on Canton Road insists the outdoor sidewalk area is private property where photography is prohibited. The action sparked protests that lasted several days and gained international news coverage on January 8. Citing the case of Zhou Jiugeng, a high-life Nanjing official identified by Chinese citizens using internet photos, local news reports speculate that Dolce & Gabbana photo ban may have been imposed at the request of some wealthy Chinese government officials trying to block details about their sources of wealth.
Dolce & amp; Gabbana finally issued an official apology to Hong Kong residents from his headquarters in Milan on January 18, 2012.
Adoption gay and in-vitro fertilization
In an interview in the March 16, 2015 issue of the Italian magazine Panorama, Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce caused controversy when they commented, "We are against gay adoption, the only family is a traditional family." They also criticized in vitro fertilization (IVF) and surrogacy by saying, "No chemical descendants and rented wombs: life has a natural flow, there are things that should not be changed." Because the comments were made by two gay men in the industry who were often seen as gay-friendly, the reactions were so violent.
Critics take to social media to voice their opposition, with hashtag #BoycottDolceGabbana collecting 30,000 tweets on Twitter in five days. Celebrities, including Elton John, Madonna, Victoria Beckham, Ricky Martin, Martina Navratilova, and Courtney Love, were among those who expressed anger at the statement. Love said he would "burn down all his Dolce and Gabbana outfits", while John, the father of two children conceived through IVF, commented, "How dare you call my beautiful children 'synthetic' And embarrass you for grumbling little fingers in IVF - a miracle that allows legions of lovers, both straight and gay, to fulfill their dream of having children. "In post Instagram Madonna, which appeared in 2010 Dolce & amp; The Gabbana campaign says, "All babies have souls, but they come to this earth and their families, nothing synthetic about the soul !! So how can we ignore IVF and surrogacy? Every soul comes to us to give us lessons. his hand in everything and even technology! We're arrogant to think Man does everything himself, just like the above so below! Think before you speak. "
More than 10,000 people signed an online petition calling on Macy and Debenhams to stop brand spreading in their department stores, until D & G revoked their statement and apologized. The protesters also gathered outside Dolce & amp; Gabbana's main shop in London is calling for an international boycott of luxury fashion stores.
Dolce & amp; Gabbana criticized the boycott call of their brand as "medieval" and called for fans to use the #BoycottEltonJohn tag, even though it resulted in only 1,500 tweets. The conservative social website LifeSiteNews launched a petition to support Dolce & amp; Gabbana gets over 20,000 signatures. After being asked during an interview with CNN if he supports having children through IVF, Dolce replied, "Yes, I have nothing bad, because the beauty of the world is freedom... We love gay couples We are gay We love gay couples We like adoption gay, we love it all, it just reveals my personal point of view. "
More
In their Spring/Summer 2013 collection they include earrings and printed fabrics that are for an American audience similar to Mammy-related image artifacts with many media commenting on similarities. But the design is made to refer to the head of Sicily Moors, a popular lucky charm in Sicilian folklore.
In the spring of 2016, the brand was attacked for a listing on their web store about a pair of sandals featuring colorful decorations and pom poms under the title "Slave Slippers in Napa Leather". Other retailers listed them as Bianca or Pom Pom sandals. Slippers in Italy are often referred to as referring to Ancient Rome. When social media users call the name in question, the list is changed.
Legal issues
In May 2009, the Italian government accused Dolce & amp; Gabbana with tax evasion for having transferred assets of about 249 million euros to Luxembourg in the 2004-2006 period.
On June 19, 2013, they were found guilty of failing to announce 1 billion euros ($ 1.3 billion) in revenues to authorities after moving their brands to Gado, Luxembourg-based parent company. The court sentenced them one year and eight months in prison. Dolce & amp; Gabbana quickly filed a 90-page appeal and thus did not face any jail time.
On April 30, 2014, three panel judges dismissed the appeal and decided to retain an earlier sentence. However, because they were sentenced to only one year and six months, who were below the minimum two years, they would not be serving a real prison sentence.
On October 24, 2014, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were found not guilty of tax evasion by the Italian Justice Tribunal. After the court decision was announced, Stefano Gabbana tweeted in Italian, "We know that !!! We are honest people!"
