Designers are characterized by certain trademarks that remain consistent throughout their careers, trademarks that are at the very core of their “design DNA.” In this episode, we explore the distinctive style of Dolce & Gabbana. From their first womenswear collection in 1985, the design duo behind the label, Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana, have grown their brand into an Italian powerhouse, built on tailoring sexy clothes for women who want to be noticed. Romantic images of a Sicilian heritage are sprinkled throughout their collections, and emphasis is often placed on that lacy symbol of femininity, the bra. Sharply tailored suits and wild animal prints are must-have items for the strong women that they dress and who ultimately inspire them, but overall, their work is always infused with a concentrated dose of high octane glamour.

The genius of Gianni Versace was his unification of contemporary culture and high art into clothes that were daring, sexy and exuberantly colored. His stunning collections were a tangible expression of his “joie de vivre” which was tragically cut short in 1997 when he was murdered outside his Miami home. After his death, his sister, Donatella Versace, took on the design reigns and has taken the house to new levels, while still maintaining the glamour and sex-appeal of the Versace brand.
