Inspired by the Italian cinema of the 1940s, the advertising campaign was shot by photographer Ferdinando Scianna in Sicily and featured Dutch model Marpessa Hennink in black and white pictures. Each new collection was a bigger success than the one that preceded it, and their fourth collection was the first big hit. That was due in part to the use of local women as models on the runway which ended as a sales disappointment.ĭue to the factor of luck, Dolce’s family offered to help meet their costs, and decline the ordered fabric cancellation, and offered another opportunity to create the next collection in 1986 and to open the first store that same year.Īs they say, and the rest is history. The pair founded a designer consulting studio in 1982 that grew into the Dolce & Gabbana label by 1985 and presented the first women’s collection in the same year, called “ Real Women“. On the other hand, Stefano was born in Milan and graduated from the Istituto Superiore per le Industrie Artistiche, Rome. It was in 1980 where he met his future business and life partner Stefano Gabbana (14 November 1962), while working for Giorgio Correggiari.

They may not be on the level of Hermes, Dior, or Tom Ford when it comes to ingredient quality or “originality”, but more often than not, I find myself enjoying their selection. I believe that Dolce & Gabbana is an important fragrance and beauty brand in general, with good fragrances everyone can enjoy.

#Dolce and gabanna light blue notes full#
The thing is, these two and the original, are full and trough flankers, which share almost the same scent profile.

What shocked me the most was all the undeserved lukewarm feedback, while the Light Blue Intense Pour Homme gets so much praise from almost anyone. One thing that surprised me the most about this release was how it divided the fragrance community and reviewers as well. Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Sun Pour Homme is a limited edition released in 2019 and a flanker of the original Light Blue from 2007.
