Italian fashion heavyweight Dolce & Gabbana has triumphantly inaugurated two spaces in its Milan hometown as dual bases for

Dolce & Gabbana Casa, an expansion into homeware first revealed in a preview last autumn. Dedicated to accessories, the outpost at 7 Corso Venezia is sleekly inviting, all black lacquered wood, glass and lavastone, while the showroom at 23 Via Durini (pictured above) offers total immersion into a world of vibrantly upholstered furniture. Minimalists, you’ve been warned (dolcegabbana.com).
