Personal life. Gabbana and Dolce were an open couple for many years. Following their success, they lived in a 19th-century villa in Milan, and owned several properties on the French Riviera. They ended their long-time relationship in 2003, but the pair still work together at D&G.

Dolce & Gabbana is the company name and sometimes used on products. / D&G is their shortened brand name ( same company ). There are many licencees from different countries but all conform to using D&G , or Dolce & Gabanna. NOT “DG”. DG Eyewear is NOT the same company.

Like we mentioned above, the label has a luxury tag attached to it. Luxury means that everything that the brand has incorporated in the collection is absolutely top-notch and best quality. The name has been available in the fashion industry for so long and confers a certain status appeal to most people.
