Stefano Gabbana is an Italian fashion designer and, along with Domenico Dolce, the co-founder of the Dolce & Gabbana luxury fashion house. He is one of the world's most influential fashion designers.
Background
Mr. Gabbana was born in Milan, Italy, on November 14, 1962. He was born to a father who worked in a printing factory and a mother who worked for a laundry service. His family is from Veneto: his father was born in Ceggia and his mother in Cessalto.
Education
Stefano Gabbana graduated from the Istituto Superiore per le Industrie Artistiche, a design institute in Rome.
In 1980, Mr. Gabbana met Sicilian Domenico Dolce through Mr. Dolce's employer, designer Giorgio Correggiari. Mr. Correggiari, who died in 2012, was extremely influential on the pair, Stefano Gabbana said in 2013: "He was not very famous. But for us he was important. He taught us especially what 'not' to do."
In 1983, Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce left Correggiari to work on their own; two years later, they launched Dolce & Gabbana S.p.A. (D&G).
In October 1985, the Dolce & Gabbana brand made its fashion show debut at Milano Collezioni's Nuovi Talenti (New Talents). In March 1986, D&G released its first collection and held its own show, "Real Women". In 1987, the first D&G store opened in Milan, at 7 Via Santa Cecilia. In 1988, D&G established a partnership with Mr. Dolce's father, Saverio, who owned the manufacturing company Dolce Saverio in Legnano, near Milan.
D&G continued to expand, holding its first fashion shows in Tokyo (April 1989) and New York (April 1990), and releasing new collection lines, including its first lingerie and beachwear line in July 1989, and its first menswear line in January 1990. In November 1990, D&G opened its New York City showroom at 532 Broadway in SoHo, Manhattan. D&G released its first fragrance, Dolce & Gabbana Parfum, in October 1992.
In 1993, the Italian designers received worldwide fame when Madonna chose D&G to design the costumes for her Girlie Show World Tour. They have since gone on to design for Monica Bellucci, Kylie Minogue, Angelina Jolie and Isabella Rossellini.
Later additions to the D&G line included ties, belts, handbags, sunglasses, watches and footwear. By 2003, the company sold more products in Italy than Armani, Gucci, Prada, and Versace. In 2009, nearly 25 years after D&G opened, the company had 113 stores and 21 factory outlets, a staff of 3,500 people and an annual turnover of more than €1 billion.
Mr. Gabbana appears in the 2013 documentary, Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf's, made about the fashion industry. He also made a cameo appearance in Woody Allen's film To Rome with Love in 2012, and was a presenter at the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2002. Stefano Gabbana also play in Giuseppe Tornatore 1995 movie "The Star Maker" (as best known "L'Uomo delle stelle" in Italy).
Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce have received numerous honours for their fashion and cultural contributions. Their first fashion award, the International Woolmark Prize, came in 1991. In 1993, their Dolce & Gabbana Parfum was named the Best Fragrance of the Year.
In 2009, the City of Milan awarded them the Ambrogino Gold medal. In 2014, the La Fondazione NY, a charity aimed at supporting young Italian and American artists, honoured Mr. Gabbana, Mr. Dolce and Mr. Luhrmann at its third awards gala at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York City.
As of March 2015, Mr. Gabbana was the 28th richest person in Italy with a net worth of approximately US$1.56 billion, according to Forbes.

Quotations:
"To me, flowers are happiness."
"Fashion is OK for five days, one minute, six months, but style is for the rest of the life."
"You don't change your style by changing your bag. You change it with your clothes."
"Dreams can still come true; you need a great deal of energy and determination, and a little bit of luck."
"We don't think only men can be powerful and strong. Behind the heads of the Mafia, the leaders of culture, there are always very strong women. European culture is a matriarchy, especially in the south. The women have a lot of power."
"Italians know that what matters is style, not fashion. Italian style does not have social or age boundaries."
"Customers are very demanding and well informed."
"Fashion takes its inspiration from society and everyday life, which is the same for everyone, and this is perhaps the reason why certain elements recur."
Connections
Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce were an open couple for many years. They ended their long-time relationship in 2005, but the pair still works together at D&G.
