An eye for Dolce & Gabbana

By now, so many words have been written about them, and a lot more will be written in the future. Their photographs fill newspapers and magazines all over the world. They are always news because they have a style that’s very precise and one which is "only theirs." They are news because famous celebrities love them: Madonna, Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman, Isabella Rossellini, Susan Sarandon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Liv Tyler, Jon Bon Jovi, Simon Le Bon and many others who often and willingly wear and swear by Dolce & Gabbana.

The foreign fashion press considers them contemporary symbols. In fact, they feel the moods, the feelings, the enthusiasm, the love affairs and the confusion of society and they register these, translating them into fashion.

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana spend most of their waking hours at a 19th century mini-villa in Milan, where they handle their business and design their collection. Their business started in 1987 and bloomed from ready-to-wear men’s and ladies’ lines, scarves, shoes, beachwear, underwear and perfumes. The latest addition to the growing business empire is the Dolce & Gabbana eyewear collection.

For Dolce & Gabbana, glasses are one of the indispensable ingredients that make up one’s overall look. They give the wearer an air of charm, with just a hint of mystique.

Every detail traces periods in the history of this brand name, which we could define as "Sicilian," "La Dolce Vita" and "Neo-Realist." Modernity and the capacity to make everything current are what define the Dolce & Gabbana style. "We want to use the past, but to project it into the future as well," say Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

There are Dolce & Gabbana frames and sunglasses for men and women. However, women feel quite at ease choosing frames originally intended for men and vice versa. The very reason why all the styles conceptualized by the inimitable duo are best fitted for all wearers, men and women alike.

The Dolce & Gabbana eyewear collection is more than just an eyewear. It is also a mirror of the current lifestyle.
