1. “You know, when that line of models go out on the catwalk I get a very strange feeling. Because when those girls go, my job is finished. I don’t even want to look at the clothes, because now they’re not mine. They are for everyone, not a secret anymore.” Domenico Dolce
2. “ We were a really good example for any couple-gay or straight-because so many times when a love story ends you eat all the house, all the money” Stefano Gabbana
3. “I love women because she is a woman; the breasts the hips the waist, the femininity.” Stefano Gabbana

7. “We believe in fait and destiny.” Stefano Gabbana
8. “My ambition and Domenico’s is to make one style for the rest of our life. We will die, but people will look in a book and see a picture and say: this is Dolce&Gabbana style. This is the goal”. Stefano Gabbana
9. “ When we started we wanted to be a big maison, to make everything. Day by day that came true, so now we want to focus in it, refine it.” Stefano Gabbana
10. “ I know we’re lucky. Just for one thing, to have met each other, its so difficult to find a friend, to find a wife or husband, But when you meet important people, like he is to me and like I am to him. This is luck.” Stefano Gabbana
