  • Alfonso Dolce, CEO and brother of co-founder Domenico Dolce, replaced Gabbana as chair, while Gabbana is reportedly considering options for his roughly 40% stake in the company.

  • Despite his resignation as chair, Gabbana remains active in creative direction and appeared at recent Milan Fashion Week shows, though it remains unclear if this signals an eventual exit.
