After forty years, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana’s creativity and design have become central to the canon of Italian fashion.
In October 1985, in the New Talents show at Milan Fashion Week, the world caught its first glimpse of Dolce&Gabbana—and a legend was born. Forty years later, the illustrious designers decided to release these four volumes showcasing the legacy of their house.
The four books collected in an elegant slipcase allow the reader to travel to the source of Dolce&Gabbana creativity: the moodboards. Personally crafted by the designers season after season, they are the true protagonists of this gorgeous project and have shaped every womenswear collection since the first fashion show. With supporting text, personally written by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, the volumes open the doors of their realm of inspiration, revealing the secrets that have never been seen outside their atelier.
The four volumes also present the best editorials and advertising photos that have nourished Dolce&Gabbana creativity, becoming iconic imagery of an age.
Domenico Dolce, born in 1958 in Sicily, began collaborating with his father in the family clothing business while studying fashion design. Stefano Gabbana, born in 1962 in Milan, brought his graphic design background to his early work with fashion studios. They became companions in life and business when they founded Dolce&Gabbana. Since their debut collection in October 1985, Dolce&Gabbana has been in constant and unstoppable ascendancy.
