Rome, Italy: Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana said Monday that it had appointed the former Gucci boss Stefano Cantino as its co-chief executive, part of a management shake-up.
He will be co-CEO with Alfonso Dolce, the brother of D&G co-founder and designer Domenico Dolce, the company said in a statement.
Alfonso Dolce has also been chairman since January following the resignation of the brand's other co-founder, designer Stefano Gabbana, who retains his creative duties.
Cantino is a fashion veteran who most recently served as chief executive of luxury brand Gucci.
D&G said his appointment was driven by "the evolution of its organisational model from a fashion brand to a lifestyle company".
