Dolce & Gabbana co-founder steps down as chairman after 40 years
Stefano Gabbana, co-founder of luxury fashion house Dolce & Gabbana, has stepped down as chairman after 40 years in the role, effective January 1, while retaining his creative position alongside Domenico Dolce. The transition comes as the privately owned brand grapples with approximately €450 million in debt, ongoing creditor negotiations, and headwinds in the luxury retail sector—including slowed spending in China—with Alfonso Dolce, Domenico’s brother and the company’s CEO, taking over as chairman.
