When Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana founded their brand in 1985, it quickly captivated the industry with its unapologetic celebration of sensuality and craftsmanship. Dolce & Gabbana’s early collections, inspired by Sicilian culture—black lace, corsets, religious iconography—stood out in a minimalist-dominated era, offering a theatrical alternative that felt both nostalgic and rebellious. The pair made glamour aspirational and attainable and today, their empire thrives on that same audacity, evolving with trends yet staying true to their Mediterranean roots. The sheer opulence on display at Le Grand Palais, room after room of staggering designs, is leaving viewers breathless. - BPJ
