Wool zip-up sweater, 38.

Dolce&Gabbana wool zip-up sweater. Their style was immediately established through a sensual, theatrical aesthetic deeply connected to Italian identity, particularly to Sicilian culture and landscapes. The collections were inspired by strong, passionate women, with references to cinematic neorealism and Mediterranean roots. Their black lace dresses, corsets, floral and religious prints, and the use of traditional Italian symbols—such as Sicilian carts, maiolica, and lemons—have become iconic.

During the '90s and 2000s, Dolce & Gabbana expanded their offering: in addition to womenswear and menswear, they launched lines of accessories, fragrances, eyewear, and junior clothing. Their runway shows became true spectacles, and the brand dressed numerous international celebrities, including Madonna, Monica Bellucci, Naomi Campbell, and Kylie Minogue.

Despite the end of their personal relationship in 2005, Dolce and Gabbana continued to work together, keeping the brand's DNA intact. In recent years, the maison has focused on collections that celebrate Italian craftsmanship and the concept of “beautiful and handmade,” valuing traditional trades.

Today, Dolce & Gabbana remains a symbol of luxury, opulence, and Italian identity, beloved for its unique, bold aesthetic deeply rooted in the culture of Southern Italy. A brand that has transformed fashion into a visual narrative of its own roots.
