When looking back, and all the successes Dolce & Gabbana had, such as creating the on-field attire for A.C. Suffice to say, the duo continued to work with the pop star even into the 2000s, produced costumes for her music tours, and also supported her’s 2000 album Music. One of the most important events in Dolce & Gabbana history that gave them major international recognition was when Madonna’s corset made of gemstones and an accompanying jacket from Dolce & Gabbana at the premiere of Truth or Dare: In Bed with Madonna. Pour Homme won “ Oscar des Parfums” for best male perfume in 1996 from the French Parfum Academy. What’s even more interesting to us, the perfume hobbyists is that in 1992 with the launch of their men’s collection, the first D&G perfume for men was released – Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme. In the 1990s, Dolce and Gabbana started to export their products to the United States and opened their first store in Japan.
One of the dresses from the fourth collection was named “The Sicilian Dress” by the fashion press and ended as one of the 100 most important dresses ever designed. Inspired by the Italian cinema of the 1940s, the advertising campaign was shot by photographer Ferdinando Scianna in Sicily and featured Dutch model Marpessa Hennink in black and white pictures.
Each new collection was a bigger success than the one that preceded it, and their fourth collection was the first big hit. That was due in part to the use of local women as models on the runway which ended as a sales disappointment.ĭue to the factor of luck, Dolce’s family offered to help meet their costs, and decline the ordered fabric cancellation, and offered another opportunity to create the next collection in 1986 and to open the first store that same year.Īs they say, and the rest is history. The pair founded a designer consulting studio in 1982 that grew into the Dolce & Gabbana label by 1985 and presented the first women’s collection in the same year, called “ Real Women“. On the other hand, Stefano was born in Milan and graduated from the Istituto Superiore per le Industrie Artistiche, Rome. It was in 1980 where he met his future business and life partner Stefano Gabbana (14 November 1962), while working for Giorgio Correggiari.

They may not be on the level of Hermes, Dior, or Tom Ford when it comes to ingredient quality or “originality”, but more often than not, I find myself enjoying their selection.

The thing is, these two and the original, are full and trough flankers, which share almost the same scent profile. What shocked me the most was all the undeserved lukewarm feedback, while the Light Blue Intense Pour Homme gets so much praise from almost anyone. One thing that surprised me the most about this release was how it divided the fragrance community and reviewers as well. Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Sun Pour Homme is a limited edition released in 2019 and a flanker of the original Light Blue from 2007.
