Sicilian passion combined with Milanese knowhow — for 20 years, the menswear label has been a byword for dark, brooding manhood. Meet the dynamic pair behind the brand. I vividly remember Dolce & Gabbana’s early menswear shows. At the beginning of the 1990s, their runways dripped sex, as Italian peasant clothes, beautifully tailored and refabricated, came out on the backs of guys who were everybody’s dream of what a sultry hunk with two days of stubble should be. It was instantly obvious this was a brand that would have a huge impact. It was all about the confidence only Italy gives to young men who want to be cool, but still look the part at work — and play. Within a few seasons, Dolce & Gabbana had unleashed its aesthetic on a willing world and changed men’s views of sexuality for ever. women.timesonline.co.uk
