Dolce & Gabbana Biography

The duo have recently recorded a CD with dance floor under the D&G label.

The D&G corset that Madonna wore in her movie 'Truth Or Dare: In Bed With Madonna' was bought for her by her boyfriend at the time, Warren Beatty.

For recent shows singer and actress Whitney Houston got all of her costumes designed by Dolce and Gabbana and was even personally fitted by them!

The study in their French Rivera home is purely black and white - including a black and white chequered mink carpet.

They were once dubbed the 'Gilbert and George of Italian fashion.'

They announced plans in 1997 to retire at the age of 40 – a promise they happily did not keep.

Domencio Dolce’s father was a tailor and his mother a dressmaker.

Although D&G’s first collection did well, it wasn’t until Madonna endorsed one of their shirts in 1991 that they started to find a wider audience.

In addition to their sophisticated women’s clothing, D&G produce a large range of shoes, jeans, underwear and fragrances.

D&G have published a book called ‘10 years of Dolce and Gabbana’ celebrating the history of the design partnership.
