Adolfo Domínguez (Spanish pronunciation: [aˈðolfo ðoˈmiŋɡeθ]), born Adolfo Domínguez Fernández, is a Spanish fashion designer.
Early life and education
He was born May 14, 1950 in Ourense, Galicia in northern Spain.[citation needed] He studied design and cinematography in Paris, with further studies in London.[citation needed]
Fashion business
He took over his father's fashion boutique in Ourense in the early 1970s.[citation needed] He spent the following years developing his own designs, and finally made the big jump with a presentation of his work in Madrid in 1981.[citation needed] He also became the first Spanish designer to open his own brand-name store in Madrid, which soon mushroomed into a chain with outlets across Spain and abroad. The company went public in 1997.[1]
Style
Adolfo Dominguez clothing is inspired by urban necessities, making use of loose and natural fabrics. One of his key marketing strategies has been to avoid distribution through multi-brand shops and target the ultimate consumer directly, reducing delivery time and cost to the buyers.
He was among the first to inject a new, fresh approach in Spanish luxury fashion, spearheading the rise of a generation of new designers.[citation needed]
Currently his perfumes belongs to Puig company.[2]
