Stefano Gabbana steps down as president of Dolce & Gabbana

Stefano Gabbana has officially stepped down from his position as president of the fashion house Dolce & Gabbana. According to Italian corporate registry filings, his resignation took place in December 2025, although the information was only recently made public. Following his departure, Alfonso Dolce, brother of co-founder Domenico Dolce and current CEO, assumed the role of president in January 2026. The company is currently navigating a significant round of debt negotiations, and reports suggest that Gabbana is evaluating options regarding his 40% stake in the brand. Additionally, industry speculation points to the potential appointment of former Gucci executive Stefano Cantino to a senior management role, though no official confirmation has been issued yet. Founded in 1985, the company maintains its leadership within the founding family despite these executive changes.
