Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana:

Quote:

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have made a trademark of their surnames and created a label renowned worldwide for glamour, sex appeal and outrageous versatility. Dolce & Gabanna debuted their first collection in 1986 to international acclaim, and opened their first boutique in Japan in 1989. In 1990 they presented their first men’s collection and opened their first women’s boutique in Milan. Dolce & Gabanna is celebrated for its devastatingly sexy, characteristically Italian aesthetic, inspired by a world made up of sensations, traditions, culture and a Mediterranean nature. Known for the ability to squeeze as much excess as humanly possible into each show-stopping piece, Dolce & Gabanna trademarks include underwear as outerwear (such as corsets and bra fastenings), gangster boss pinstripe suits, extravagantly printed and embroidered coats, and last but not least, black. Their provocative silhouettes and richly colored animal prints made them an obvious choice for designing Madonna’s 1993 “Girlie Show” and later on, Whitney Houston’s 1999 world tour.

With distribution around the globe and an established reputation on the red carpet, the label is synonymous with extravagance and their designs are emblematic of a love for luxury and lifestyle. Isabella Rossellini, Kylie Minogue and Angelina Jolie, amongst others have Dolce & Gabanna on speed dial and the label is a welcome and exciting addition to Gilt Groupe.

Are you a DG fan Kay? I'm really picky when it comes to their bags. Of course this is Animalier handbag sale (my least favorite DG line ), so I'm not all that excited. Some of their bags are hits and some are misses for me. Here's some examples:

This bag is @ eluxury

)
