Domenico Dolce (born 13 August 1958) is an Italian fashion designer and one half of the iconic luxury duo Dolce & Gabbana, a brand synonymous with opulence, Sicilian romanticism, and unapologetic Italian glamour. Alongside Stefano Gabbana, Dolce co-founded the house in 1985, merging baroque richness with sensual silhouettes to create a signature aesthetic that celebrates bold femininity and Mediterranean heritage. From Madonna’s corsets in the ’90s to red carpet royalty today, Dolce’s vision has helped shape one of the most influential and enduring fashion empires of the modern era.

His personal style is as impeccably considered as the clothes he creates—precise tailoring, crisp shirting, monochrome palettes, and the ever-present black frame glasses that have become his sartorial signature. Dolce’s eyewear reflects his devotion to craft and structure: strong, architectural frames, typically in matte or glossy black acetate, that blend intellectual edge with Italian confidence. Often seen in his own label’s designs, his opticals and sunglasses carry the same DNA as Dolce & Gabbana’s collections—bold, refined, and unmistakably rooted in timeless style. For Domenico Dolce, eyewear isn’t just functional—it’s fundamental.
