Domenico Dolce got his start in fashion when he started collaborating with his father in the family clothing business in Sicily. Stefano Gabbana began working in fashion studios in Milan in 1962. They met each other soon after and became companions in life and work. Their successful runway debut in October 1985 at Milano Collezioni marked the beginning of their fashion empire.
