Dolce & Gabbana Aftershave & Men's Fragrance

At the tender age of 6, Domenico Dolce was already well on his way to fame and fortune when he started to design and tailor his own clothing. It wasn't until their fourth collection that Dolce & Gabbana first had a taste of success, when Dolce drew upon his Sicilian roots and after having introducing collections such as their 'transformation' range, where clothing in the collection came with instructions about the seven different ways that an item can be worn in an outfit, something of a first amongst the fashion world back then.

As well as having a very successful career in men and women's fashion, Dolce & Gabbana have several other avenues that they have enjoyed financial reward. Between 1992 and 1998 they created a bridal collection and between 1994 and 1999 the Dolce & Gabbana Home Collection was founded. The first women's beachwear collection was developed in 1989, followed by the first men's beachwear collection in 1992. D & G launched an eyewear line in 1998 and timepieces line in 2000. That same year D&G launched both a men's and women's underwear collection, separate from their Dolce & Gabbana lingerie collection. In 2001 they launched the D&G Junior line for children.

Their success in men's fashion doesn't just stop there either. Dolce & Gabbana have designed the on-field attire for AC Milan since 2004 and their off field attire when they attend official functions, as they do for the Italian National Football Team as well. In 2010 Dolce & Gabbana signed a 3 year deal with Chelsea Football Club to design and provide attire for the club's outfit both on and off the pitch, not just for the men playing and coaching for the club but also for the women staff members too. During the 2000s Dolce & Gabbana designed many costumes for several huge women artists including Madonna, with whom they had previously worked, Kylie Minogue, Beyonce, Mary J Blige and Missy Elliot.

Until they merged in 2012, Dolce & Gabbana had two central lines (D & G and Dolce&Gabbana). This is why some of the fragrances and colognes for men and women alike have slightly different labels. One of the most successful ranges of perfume and aftershave to make up a stunning collection is the D & G Anthology Assortment. The fragrances are advertised by celebrities, who are shown naked in advertising campaign made by Mario Testino. Women models are Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova and Claudia Schiffer, and men are: Noah Mills, Fernando Fernanes and Tyson Ballou. The collection The D&G Anthology was inspired by tarot cards and their marks.

To date, the brand is present in 40 countries worldwide with a network of 251 mono-brand stores. Their headquarters are distributed on a global scale with the majority of the offices being in Europe, mainly Italy but can also be found in Hong Kong, Japan and USA. Newer to the design game than other heavyweight Italian fashion houses such as Versace and Armani, the pair of men acknowledge that luck has played its part in their phenomenal success and they continue to wow crowds wherever they go.
