Dolce&Gabbana -- The Scoop Behind The Well-known Name

Dolce&Gabbana or D&G is no doubt one precious brand that has a mass appeal of sorts. Singers point out it in their songs. Hollywood hotshots, supermodels and socialites keep talking about it. Regular persons dream about having even just a single piece of clothing with the appellation -- but what's the real story about its popularity?

The brand itself is in truth named after its pioneers Domenico Dolce (the "D")and Stefano Gabbana (the "G"). Unlike its contemporaries and competitors, it has manufactured two lines that cater to two primary adult fashion sectors –- the pop-culture dictated, D&G, and the high-end society luxury-type, Dolce&Gabbana. Each line also has its own series of lingerie; beach and eye wear and perfume collection counting out the former, which also has jewelry.

The reason behind its distinction is not always because of the designs that both lines maintain. Sometimes, it's the gossip that comes along with the brands' advertisements that trigger the attention that eventually leads to socio-political clamor in countries where responsible advertising and human rights advocates flourish.

Despite these issues, Dolce & Gabbana still continues to lead runways around the world and is set to unleash this year's winter collection sometime soon.
