Stefano Gabbana, co-founder of Italian luxury fashion house Dolce & Gabbana, stepped down as chair in January, according to a company filing with the local chamber of commerce seen by Reuters on Friday (April 10, 2026).
The news was first reported by Bloomberg, which said the designer was also considering options for his roughly 40% stake in the company ahead of negotiations with its bank lenders.
