Dolce&Gabbana has announced the appointment of Stefano Cantino as the company’s new Co-Ceo. Cantino will serve alongside President and current Ceo Alfonso Dolce. The appointment comes as part of the brand’s transformation from a fashion focused company into a broader lifestyle business. As part of the new organizational structure, Stefano Gabbana will step away from managerial responsibilities while continuing his creative role within the brand. New Co-Ceo Stefano Cantino is widely recognized for his extensive international experience within the luxury fashion industry. Following his career at Prada Group, Cantino held senior executive positions at Louis Vuitton and most recently at Gucci, where he also served as Ceo. Commenting on his new role, Cantino stated, “It is a great honor for me to join Dolce&Gabbana, one of the brands that represents Italian excellence most strongly around the world.” Alfonso Dolce also commented on the appointment, saying, “I am pleased to have Stefano Cantino by my side during this new phase of growth and development.” The appointment is seen as one of the key steps in Dolce&Gabbana’s strategy to strengthen its position in international markets and expand into new business areas beyond fashion.
