Dolce & Gabbana the Vanguard of Italian Glamour and "Grand Tour" Retail Artistry Founded in 1985 by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, the brand remains one of the few global luxury houses to maintain complete creative and financial independence. Operating as a premier Luxury Anchor for the world’s most prestigious corridors, Dolce & Gabbana is currently executing its "2026 Lifestyle Horizon" strategy. This multi-billion dollar pivot, led by CEO Alfonso Dolce, focuses on three pillars Alta Moda (High Fashion), the newly internalized DG Beauty division (targeting €3B in sales by 2026), and DG Casa (Home). The 2026 retail concept abandons standardized "global boutiques" in favor of the "Grand Tour" model, where each flagship is a unique architectural stage reflecting the local culture—from the Baroque-inspired Palazzo Labus in Milan to the upcoming "botanical luxury" flagship at One Beverly Hills. For landlords and developers, Dolce & Gabbana offers institutional-grade stability and a high-spending global demographic. The brand is increasingly diversifying into branded real estate and hospitality, including landmark residential towers in Miami (888 Brickell) and Marbella, further solidifying its status as a 360-degree luxury lifestyle ecosystem.
