Collection: Dolce & Gabbana

Dolce & Gabbana is an Italian fashion house founded in Milan, renowned for its baroque aesthetic and exuberant style. The Vision Janine collection features vintage eyewear from the 1980s to the 2000s: oversized acetate frames, bold logos, textile patterns, and details inspired by the brand's couture universe.

The brand's DNA

Dolce & Gabbana embodies Mediterranean exuberance, a theatrical and sensual style that blends tradition and provocation. Its eyewear reflects this identity: bold frames, baroque details, visible logos, and intense colors. The design often plays with the contrast between glamorous femininity and assertive masculinity, reflecting the house's contrasting aesthetic.

His story

Founded in 1985 in Milan by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, Dolce & Gabbana quickly established itself as one of the symbols of Italian fashion in the 1990s. Their universe, inspired by Sicily and Italian cinema, extended to eyewear in the late 1980s. Produced under license, notably with Luxottica, Dolce & Gabbana glasses quickly became iconic accessories, combining noble materials (Italian acetate, gold metal) and flamboyant design. The 1990s and 2000s marked the golden age of D&G frames, between graphic minimalism and baroque exuberance.

The iconic frames

- DG 6001: oversized sports mask from the 90s, smoked lenses, imposing logo on the temples.

- DG 1216: red gingham pattern frame, matching lenses, 2000s pop style.

- DG 2049: round metal glasses, revisited retro style with engraved logo.

- Baroque series from the 90s: thick acetates, inlaid gold logos, sculpted temples.

Did you know?

In the 1990s, Dolce & Gabbana popularized glasses with oversized logos on the temples, a practice later adopted by many other brands. These models, criticized at the time for their audacity, are now sought after precisely for this ostentatious aesthetic, which has become a symbol of the 1990s.

Why collect them?

Vintage Dolce & Gabbana eyewear captivates with its baroque and contrasting aesthetic, Italian manufacturing, and iconic place in 1990s-2000s fashion. They embody an era when accessories displayed a confident, often theatrical style, and reflect the history of a fashion house that has left its mark on contemporary visual culture. Their current rarity, particularly for models with textile patterns or imposing logos, makes them sought-after pieces among collectors.
