Dolce and Gabbana
Design duo Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are known for making "stars look like stars". Their sexy styles are often to be seen on the likes of Cheryl Cole, Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman and Madonna, for whom they created the now-famous "Kylie Minogue" tribute T-shirt. They also created the costumes for Madonna's Girlie Show in 1993, as well as Whitney Houston's 1999 tour.
Once dubbed the "Gilbert and George of Italian fashion", Dolce and Gabbana gave their fashion interests a musical turn in 1996, by recording their own single, in which they intoned the words "D&G is love" over a techno beat.
Newer to the design game than other heavyweight Italian fashion houses such as Versace and Armani, the pair acknowledge that luck has played its part in their phenomenal success however with unique garment designs along with flawless sunglass frames, one can argue that the pair were bound to be extremely successful.
