As the 1367th Wealthiest person in the world (Source : Forbes) in 2016. Fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana launched their first abaya and hijab collection in early 2016, targeting the Middle East luxury market. The design firm is headquartered in Milan, but also owns branches in New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Sao Paulo. The Sicilian half of the fashion power-duo, Dolce was born into the world of fashion, but not into luxury. His father was a tailor near the city of Palermo in Sicily, while his mother sold fabrics and clothing at a store. He left for Milan, where he started studying at Istituto Marangoni, but dropped out early, believing that he knew everything they were trying to teach him. He met Gabbana while working as an assistant designer to Giorgio Correggiari. He eventually got Gabbana a job with Correggiari and assumed the role of mentor. By 1983, the pair had left Correggiari and were living together in Milan and in a relationship, working on freelance designs. Two years later they founded their design firm and a year after that the label made its runway debut at Milan Fashion Week. Known for their extravagant style and animal print designs, the designers' big break came in 1993 when Madonna selected them to design costumes for her Girlie tour, exposing their fashions to the masses. Even though their personal relationship ended in 2003, Dolce and Gabbana still design for the company and continue to share ownership.
