Domenico Dolce

Domenico Dolce is the co-founder of the Italian luxury fashion house Dolce & Gabbana. He and Stefano Gabbana founded the company, maintaining direct control even after their personal relationship ended two decades ago. Dolce is newsworthy due to recent reports concerning Stefano Gabbana's resignation as chairman of Dolce & Gabbana, effective since December 2025, though only recently announced. The company describes Gabbana's departure as part of a natural evolution of the organizational structure and governance. While Gabbana will retain a creative role, his exit from the chairmanship marks a significant shift in the leadership of the brand, which has historically been tightly controlled by its founders. Dolce's continued role within the company remains central to its future direction.
