Stefano Cantino

Stefano Gabbana is an Italian fashion designer and co-founder of the luxury brand Dolce & Gabbana, which he established with Domenico Dolce. He is newsworthy due to his recent resignation from his position as chairman of Dolce & Gabbana. This resignation, effective January 1, 2026, occurred in December 2025 but was only recently made public. The company states this is a natural evolution of its organizational structure and governance. While stepping down as chairman, Gabbana will reportedly retain a creative role within the company. This marks a significant shift in leadership for the fashion house, which has been directly controlled by its founders despite the end of their personal relationship twenty years ago. His departure from the chairman role signifies a new chapter for Dolce & Gabbana.
