Dolce & Gabbana names new CEO

The appointment is seen as a strategic move to modernize the Italian fashion house and strengthen its global competitiveness.

Cantino brings decades of experience from senior roles at Prada and Gucci, where he was credited with driving significant brand growth.

The leadership change comes as the luxury sector faces a profits squeeze due to geopolitical tensions and shifting consumer patterns.

The company aims to leverage Cantino's expertise to expand its digital presence and appeal to younger demographics.
