Domeniko Dolche and Stefano Gabbana not seldom confuse, someone considers, that they brothers, and for laymen is in general one person. And, nevertheless, it is absolutely different two persons. Impudent friends have managed to outstrip time, they have created a fashion 90, so habitual now to us.

Domeniko Dolche (Domenico Dolce) - thickset, silent, adores black colour, prefers to spend evenings of the house because likes rest and a solitude. It comes from Sicily where his family owned small studio. From 6 years the boy worked on grab for the father, almost blindly could sew a sleeve to a jacket (for as has received a nickname "Mozart" - a pier, this boy the same god in cutting and sewing art, as Mozart - in music). At leisure, as entertainment, created from rags tiny suits and dresses. The life to Sicily flows under the laws which have developed of many centuries back - deaf black dresses of local women, a narrow woollen suit which Domeniko was authorised to be put on only on Sunday, going in church, the brilliant Italian machoes who are able so is negligent and so elegantly to carry hats, continuous domostroj and a word of the father which is stronger than any locks. Mother especially did not indulge him - the family was not from rich so neither on expensive toys, nor on new things to count it was not necessary.

What here new things if mother herself quite often wore for the father its suits in a thin light strip (for dirty job on the house of a good dress it is a pity, and any modern features of type of sports jersey to Sicily were severely blamed). These memoirs of childhood Domeniko then will transfer to collections. But it will be then for now Domeniko on reaching majority should enter into family business - so in those places is got from time immemorial. And it took and has thrown out a trick - has entered the university, whence has run away the next year, desperately having started missing. Dolche it was disaccustomed at art school and has jerked to Milan - on glory and good luck searches.

Stefano Gabbana (Stefano Gabbana) he was born in Northern Italy, high, thin and talkative, adores to travel on night clubs. Krasavchik Stefano being for four years is more younger Domeniko, already in sweet years tinejdzherstva was the desperate dandy. «But I also could not think, that clothes creation becomes my own business». Gabbana studied on drawing and design branch in art college, has finished it as «the creative director», but for a trade has not worked also day - it too has gone to Milan in search of a recognition. Practically in anywhere - not having got a job, not having found apartment. Simply because it was demanded by its heart.

They have met in Milan in the beginning 80 and have begun own business with zero. At first there was a love, and then the joint future. First at times there was no money even on meal, it was necessary to push into itself boiled rice every day. Absolutely different - expressional Gabbana and constrained Dolche - adherents concerning a fashion and style.

The joint future has appeared together with brand Dolce&Gabbana in 1982. Dominiko and Stefano work together in studio belonging to them. And only three years later, on displays Milano Collezioni have noticed them.

Young talents have appreciated, and the roundabout was started turning. A year later they have shown brilliant show «Real Women», a year later have let out the first collection of jersey and knitted things and have opened own show-rum in Milan. In October 1988 they have started a high-grade line pret-a-porter by means of that small enterprise of the father, Dolce Saverio where the brother and sister Domeniko continued to work. By the way, this cooperation has benefited both parties: for today Alfonso Dolche operates the big factory, and tells that are obliged by world glory Dolce&Gabbana to family business. « In due time the father has decided to refuse manual job and has put some cars in studio. In those days it was innovation, now it is necessity. The cooperation straight line between Dolce&Gabbana and Dolce Saverio is ideal: it is possible to tell, that popularity Dolce&Gabbana helps development Dolce Saverio, but is exact also we provide with it a starting technological platform for business ».

«These ridiculous guys» to the Italian public were grew fond. Them constantly confused with each other, therefore they began to carry belts with engraved DD and SG They were not too arrogant and into their plans did not enter to become monsters of the fashion-industry. They simply sewed clothes, not especially penetrating in business intrigues, and not spending fabulous money for advertising. Â1989 there was a line of bathing suits, in 1990 - the first man's collection. Then collections of accessories and ties and the first firm aroma. All it reminds a mosaic, in which integrity and harmony of a pattern it is possible to achieve only unity of tiny parts.

Under the statement of fashion designers, «the clothes influence everything, beginning from sense of humour of the person and finishing its perception of. We want, that people looked tempting, when they carry our models. Because, when you receive compliments concerning the appearance, you feel yourself more confident own forces. The body has own language which the fashion should interpret. We do not like senseless splurge of a naked body - we like very sexual, little bit ironic details which as if raise„ a secret veil “more. And still we pomeshany on proportions - a breast, … We prefer hips pure tone: the black, white, deep red. Also we do not like the mixed or artificial paints». Improbably, but the fact: the sweet Italian couple likes to dress men, but the most ardent admirers of their stamp there are women.

Isabella Rosselini, having bought the first blouse from Dolce&Gabbana, was delighted: «For the first time I have seen them very long time ago on a Week of a fashion in Milan. Has remembered, that one called Dolche -"sweet"in Italian, the second somehow still. But their collection has amazed me - has amazed how they have managed to unite in one space two absolutely incompatible things - Sicily and innovation. I the Italian and fine know, that such Sicily. It is the old world, where till now piously chtut ancient traditions: virgins, vendetta, the widows storing fidelity to the died husbands. And the fashion is inconceivable without a seducing, bright paints, vanity fair - everything, that old sitsilianskie rules condemn.

But these two nevertheless have found possibility to connect two worlds. The white blouse became the first model which I have bought from them. Very chaste, with a manual embroidery on a collar. But this blouse which has been cut out in a special way so increased a breast that seemed as if it now will blow up. At men this blouse, is more correct I in it, had mad success. Much later we have met personally - I had such feeling as if we are old friends. Our conversation reminded game in Ping-Pong - we were thrown by names of the Italian directors and actresses: Visconti, De Sika, Sofi Loren, Toto. It was that culture on which I have grown, - after all my father, director Roberto Rossellini, was one of founders of a current of neo-realism, and Domeniko and Stefano often were inspired by these films «.

In it skill of a cut and art of the designer consists. It them also appreciate. The woman from Dolce&Gabbana should like itself and find itself in those contrasts which essence of philosophy Dolche and Gabbany and is. She the traveller - but it does not forget, whence it comes. It makes light of a life - but with trembling concerns the family. It carries strict suits - but under them necessarily there is a seductive linen. It carries high heels - but thus confidently costs standing. Molto sexy, both in clothes, and in the relation to a life.

Domeniko Dolche and Stefano Gabbana for long years of joint creativity had time to let out youth line D&G, bannuju line Ligne de Bain, a line of children's clothes, accessories, jeans, a collection of glasses. They have dressed set of superstars, have opened tens boutiques all over the world, have written and have published some books and albums, even have let out some own plates. The small family business becomes more similar to fashionable empire in which head there are two usual persons each year: low, in baggy clothes Domeniko Dolche both harmonous and tightened Stefano Gabbana. They hide nothing and do not spin intrigues, they simply live, cherishing the happiness. They different, but, strangely enough, they identical - even speak they always simultaneously. They never quarrelled, and, probably, the secret of their success consists in it and. Because each thing from Dolce&Gabbana breathes that love by which lives Domeniko Dolche and Stefano Gabbana are filled.

In the end of 2004 the Italian designers Domeniko Dolche and Stefano Gabbana confirm hearings that they are not connected any more by close relations. Now designers live in different apartments in one building in Milan. But assert, that rupture will not be reflected in any way in job.

«Professionally all of us still together, - has explained Domeniko. - We remarkably work together, we very well understand each other. That has occurred in the past, still exists, it proceeds, and will always proceed. All of us still very strongly love each other».

Though now both Dolche, and Gabbana have got new novels, according to designers, the feeling of jealousy also does not stir to their job. «It was easy not always, - speaks Domeniko. - We lived together 19 years. There is a passion of a body, a flesh, and there is a love which is deeper than it».
