Dolce & Gabbana names Fabrizio Cardinali COO

Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana has appointed Fabrizio Cardinali as chief operating officer and board member.

Prior to joining the luxury brand founded by the Sicilian design duo, Cardinali was the chief executive of Alfred Dunhill. As the chief of the British men’s brand, Cardinali was replaced by Andrew Maag back in January 2017.

During his four-year tenure at Dunhill, Cardinali lead the expansion of Dunhill’s specialist product range and focused on growing the British brand’s retail presence, which included the opening of its flagship store in Mayfair, London.

Prior to Dunhill, Cardinali served as Dolce & Gabbana’s sales and marketing director, before taking up the role of chief executive at Richemont-owned Lancel.
