The house—established in 1985 by Gabbana alongside Domenico Dolce—now sees Alfonso Dolce, Domenico’s brother and current CEO, assuming the position of chairman as of January.
While Gabbana remains a key shareholder, holding a 40% stake in the company, sources indicate he is currently evaluating strategic options regarding his shares. Industry whispers also point to the potential appointment of Stefano Cantino to a senior leadership role—though no official confirmation has been made.
A moment of transition for the iconic Italian maison, this development signals a new chapter in its evolving legacy.
