Designer who left fashion house in January said to be considering options for his 40% stake ahead of talks with lenders
Stefano Gabbana left his post as chair of Dolce & Gabbana at the start of this year, the fashion house he co-founded with his then partner, Domenico Dolce, has said.
The Italian luxury brand said Gabbana had tendered his resignation, effective as of 1 January, “as part of a natural evolution of its organisational structure and governance”.
It added: “These resignations have no impact whatsoever on the creative activities carried out by Stefano Gabbana on behalf of the group.”
Alfonso Dolce, Domenico’s brother and D&G’s chief executive, took over the role in January, according to Bloomberg, which first reported Gabbana’s resignation.
