Dolce & Gabbana

Beginning in 1994 as a second line of Dolce&Gabbana, it offered casual, everyday-oriented styles for a younger customer base than the main line. It functioned as another entry point foregrounding the names of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, presenting collections at a different pace from the main line of the time. Following its final collection in 2011, it was integrated into the main Dolce & Gabbana in 2012. Today, it is positioned as a former offshoot line that reflects the evolution of the brand structure before the integration.

The eyewear and sunglasses division has operated under license with EssilorLuxottica since 2006. Separate from the directly operated fashion line, it is supplied through authorized retailers and a distributor network, translating the parent brand’s codes into frames through refined shapes, quality materials, and precise details. It serves as an area of specialization managed by an external partner, translating the brand’s design into products for the area around vision.

Introduced at Pitti Bimbo in 1999, this kids' offshoot line of D&G was developed as a collection of children's clothing and shoes. It adapted D&G's expression for children and served to distinguish the parent brand's world by age group. Rather than being scaled-down adult clothing, it was an independent offering for children, serving the youngest age group within the D&G family. After it ended in 2010, it was reorganized as Dolce&Gabbana Children, which began in 2012.

First unveiled in Taormina in 2012, it is responsible for jewelry within the same Alta system as Alta Moda and Alta Sartoria. Rather than clothing, it focuses craftsmanship on jewelry, and a dedicated book was published in 2023. It is often presented alongside Alta Moda at events and, as the Alta line specializing in jewelry, serves to express the brand’s high-level craftsmanship through jewelry.

Dolce&Gabbana’s women’s luxury clothing line held its first show event in Taormina on July 12, 2012. After D&G was integrated in 2011, it was launched as the brand’s highest expression and has since presented collections in various locations, including Milan, Capri, Portofino, Naples, and Palermo. Together with Alta Sartoria and Alta Gioielleria, it is a central pillar representing high-level craftsmanship.

One of the Alta divisions alongside Alta Moda and Alta Gioielleria, it handles luxury tailoring for men. Palazzo Labus in Milan is used as a space dedicated exclusively to Alta Sartoria, and in 2025 it was presented in Rome at the same time as Alta Moda and Alta Gioielleria. Within the Alta divisions, it takes on the menswear side and is an upper-tier sphere that concentrates the parent brand’s craftsmanship in men’s haute couture.

This is the area in which Dolce&Gabbana entered the world of luxury watches, characterized by hand metalworking techniques and mechanical movements powered by Swiss-made calibers. Alongside Alta Gioielleria, it forms the non-apparel division of the Alta structure and presents precision craftsmanship beyond apparel. As the watch-focused segment within Alta, it is the highest-tier craft line extending the parent brand’s craftsmanship into watches.

Announced at Salone del Mobile in Milan in 2022, it is developed as a lifestyle area that extends the brand codes into living spaces beyond clothing. It covers furniture, tables, bathrooms, and accessories, reflecting the parent brand’s designs throughout the space through themes such as Carretto, Zebra, Blu Mediterraneo, and Leopardo. Alongside Beauty, it is a pillar supporting experiences beyond fashion.

Established in 2022 to shift from the previous licensing model to direct in-house management, it has directly managed fragrance, makeup, and skincare as Dolce&Gabbana Beauty since January 1, 2023. It brought together within the group the beauty business previously entrusted to external licensees and restructured it to extend the codes of fashion across beauty products. It has also expanded standalone beauty boutiques and plays a central role in the beauty sector.

At Pitti Bimbo in 2024, the collection was presented explicitly for teenagers for the first time. Using colors such as urban black and graphic white, elements of music and street culture, oversized fits, and new silhouettes, it bridges children’s and adult clothing. As an extension of the Children line, it serves to extend the parent brand’s world to an older, more urban audience.
