Dolce & Gabbana Sunglasses

"Solo et pensoso i più deserti campi
vo mesurando a passi tardi et lenti,
et gli occhi postage per fuggire intenti
ove vestigio human la reni stampi."

"Alone and in my thoughts, I am roaming the most desolate wasteland
with hesitatingly, slow steps,
and with my eyes I search to avoid
human footsteps that are marked in the sand."

This was once written by the Italian poet Francesco Petrarca in one of his famous sonnets, forgetting that this wasteland can also be roamed together to reach where no human has ever been before. Dolce & Gabbana demonstrate this impressively again and again with their collections. Their artistic abilities allow them to show how one can escape from everyday life but still leave unique marks in the sand. With their creations, the two Italian designers create unique dream worlds that are the epitome of Italian fashion, always baroque, sensual (Dolce Gabbana DG2179) and sexy (Dolce Gabbana DG4277).

The extravagant ideas (Dolce Gabbana DG6111) of the duo captivate with their certain “je ne sais quoi” (Dolce Gabbana DG4311), letting all fashion hearts (Dolce Gabbana DG2174) beat faster. But who or what is behind the success of the famous Dolce & Gabbana fashion label?

The story of Dolce & Gabbana

The Dolce & Gabbana brand was established in 1985 and, with its sensual, funny and crazy designs in the wake of the Milan fashion miracle of the 80s and 90s, was completely in line with the concept of fashion. Timing is everything. But that does not apply exclusively to the two founders. While Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are often regarded as the freaky little brothers of Giorgio Armani, Gianni Versace and Gianfranco Ferrè, they have turned the fashion world upside down in areas that had previously seemed to have been carved in stone.

Unforgettable is how after their shows, they showed Naomi Campbell and Gisele Bündchen around their old palazzo on Via San Damiano, how they transformed Madonna and Kylie Minogue into global advertising icons and how they overstimulated the otherwise tasteful Milan in an acoustic, visual, olfactory and synesthetic manner, as if the city was in a state of intoxication.

In addition, they recognized the changes in the media at a very early stage and played a major role in the rapid shift of the tectonic plates in media coverage and presentation. They systematically put bloggers in the front rows, that were actually the traditional seats of the magazine's editors, in order to re-align the "checks and balances" in the fragile world of fashion.

As a first step, this allowed Dolce & Gabbana to take the digital world of fan bloggers under their wings, by means of a highly-topical Instagram account or via their thriving online business.

Above all, the protective or rather creative influence of the two designers is omnipresent, an example being their decision to discontinue the moderately successful second line D&G. Instead they not only revived seemingly outdated made-to-measure tailoring, but also gave it a distinctive new coat of paint. But even beyond the high art of tailoring, the two Italian designers started breakig new ground. Instead of staging the traditional couture shows on the Parisian or New York catwalks, as Armani, Versace or Giambattista Valli did and still do, they host their Alta Moda shows in dream locations like Capri or Portofino, enticing the editors, bloggers and influencers to write equally fabulous articles about the unique style of Dolce & Gabbana, although their designs do not exhibit the almost undercooled look of Miuccia Prada (Prada and/or MiuMiu) or the artificial progressiveness of Consuelo Castiglioni.

One thing is as sure as the amen in the church, as lone fighters, the Dolce & Gabbana duo would never have come so far, because Milanese Gabbana, who studied art, and Sicilian Dolce, who had been helping in his father's tailoring business since his childhood, perfectly complement each other. Although or perhaps because the fashion house is always to remain a family business, its principle is: "everyone does everything". Both work creatively. But while Dolce organizes and presents the brand to the outside world, it’s Gabbana who designs and creates. "I continue where Domenico left off," says Stefano Gabbana, who functions as the art director of the brand, describing their collaboration in an interview. "And then he continues where I left off. He is obsessed with details, cuts, silhouettes. I love prints, jewelry, inspiration. I need him because he gives me a structure, and he needs me for a vision."

The dual system of the former couple works - even after their separation. Each balances the other's shortcomings, and together they do it better than others would on their own. In this respect they are also avant-garde. In the past, there was only room for lone-fighter fashion designers. The contrast lies not only in their characters, but in their strengths and weaknesses, where they almost perfectly complement each other: Stefano Gabbana, the strategic head of the Italian luxury brand and Domenico Dolce, the tailor of the team. "A Dolce-only or a Gabbana-only collection would be unthinkable," Stefano once said about the company, that always focuses on one topic: Italy. Sicilian and Christian motifs lend tradition and feeling to prosaic luxury items. "We have everything in Italy, art, food, inspiration," said Gabbana in an interview.

And exactly these influences and inspirations are also found on the garments of the Dolce & Gabbana collections. "It's like being in the gym: the more you do, the better you get. And we are free! At a high price, but no price is too high for freedom. This here is our child. Money is not high on Domenico’s and my list. We know our roots."

These roots, combined with the fact that the two avowed fans of the Inter Milan football club don't always take themselves too seriously, are also evident in the design that make Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses so unique, as is evident in eyewear like the Dolce Gabbana DG4269 or Dolce Gabbana DG6120. "I must be able to laugh in my job. If you are happy, you also put happiness into your work. And you can really feel it."

This joy, coupled with the creative playfulness ([Dolce Gabbana DG4304](DG4304-501-8G-by-Dolce-and-Gabbana.html)), the freaky designs ([Dolce Gabbana DG4319)](DG4319-31808G-by-Dolce-and-Gabbana.html)) and the quality of the components ([Dolce Gabbana DG4268](DG4268-501-8G-by-Dolce-and-Gabbana.html)) is highly appreciated by a host of mega stars like **Madonna**, **Monica Belucci, Demi Moore**, Kylie Minogue, **Brad Pitt** and Tom Cruise. The illustrious clientele of the **Dolce & Gabbana fashion brand** also includes artists such as **Missy Elliot**, **Beyoncé**, **Selena Gomez** and **Mary J. Blige**. Just one of the reasons why counterfeiters often try to **fake Dolce & Gabbana** but do it rather badly.

The Style of Dolce & Gabbana Sunglasses

But it only remains an unsuccessful attempt, since the eyewear with its round frames (Dolce Gabbana DG2205), interesting patterns and unconventional, colourful combinations is absolutely convincing, making the designer frames unique eye-catchers. With Dolce & Gabbana you will find the matching companion piece for every outfit to optimally emphasize, accentuate and refine your look. Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses offer a timeless design (Dolce & Gabbana DG4254) with a luxurious touch (Dolce Gabbana DG4295) for unforgettable moments!

The Phenomenon of Dolce & Gabbana Sunglasses

These are the moments that extravagant creations like the Dolce Gabbana Zebra-Designs or the popular Leo-Prints Dolce Gabbana aim to create a very specific feeling: "The fashion system is more than just labels. You must provide a sensation and an emotion - you must tell a story, "Stefano explained on "vogue.com.au." "I love Shakespeare! [It is an experience] between fantasy and reality!"

Since 1995 Dolce & Gabbana have been designing glasses or top sellers like the Dolce & Gabbana DG2155 and designer frames like the Dolce Gabbana DG4341 or the Dolce & Gabbana DG4342 and are not restricted by traditional conventions. Therefore, the success curve in this business segment is also steeply upwards, because Dolce & Gabbana have not only committed themselves to one line, but are as versatile as their famous animal prints (Dolce Gabbana LOGO PLAQUE).

Luxottica, the Dolce & Gabbana eyewear manufacturer, has had a share in this success since 2006. The Group holds the rights to the production and distribution of this branded eyewear, that is manufactured in Italy under the strictest EU directive.

Eyewear from Dolce & Gabbana is a Fashion Statement

The eyewear models are far from being ordinary, they make the wearer look striking and provocative. The extravagant designer eyeglasses are immediately recognizable by their oversized look (Dolce Gabbana DG4310) and the thick plastic designer frames. The authenticity of the "Dolce & Gabbana" spectacle frame can be attributed to the DG logo, which is very striking in gold. Swarovski stones are also often attached to the eyeglass temple, which gives the eyewear a very special flair - true to the motto "sparkle to shine!". Understatement can be done differently! But who wants to get lost in the crowd?
