Dolce & Gabbana Appoints Stefano Cantino as Co-CEO

Italian luxury brand Dolce & Gabbana has named Stefano Cantino as its new co-chief executive officer, signaling a fresh push to strengthen its leadership during a challenging phase for the global luxury industry.

Cantino will share the top role with Alfonso Dolce. His appointment comes at a time when the company is working to adjust to shifting consumer demand and tighter market conditions. While co-founder Stefano Gabbana has stepped back from executive duties, he continues to guide the brand’s creative direction.

The move reflects a broader effort by the company to bring in experienced leadership and sharpen its business strategy. Dolce & Gabbana, known for its bold designs and strong Italian identity, has recently faced financial pressure, including reported losses and ongoing discussions around managing its debt.
