Dolce & Gabbana

 Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have proven themselves provocateurs in the fashion industry. Their Dolce & Gabbana designer collections often feature underwear-as-outerwear and are the epitome of Italian luxury and sex appeal. Dolce & Gabbana are considered the inventors of Mediterranean style that draws its inspiration from the women of Italian realism, sensual and austere. The Dolce & Gabbana woman is an unbiased and brazen one who simultaneously reveals and conceals brassieres and corsets, lace, lingerie and veils, and who is disturbing in her impetuous sensuality whilst being proud of her body. Dolce & Gabbana is one of the best examples of the explosion in Italian ready-to-wear that occurred during the mid-1980s.
