Having featured the likes of Carine Roitfeld, Diane von Furstenberg and Liya Kebede in the past, this month sees Italian design duo Dolce & Gabbana star in a 30 minute video profile on CNN: Revealed. Following the designers through two seasons of menswear, fans of the pair will enjoy watching the pair hard at work, and relaxing at their home in Portofino.

They might not have been in a relationship for nearly five years now, but the documentary reveals a clear affection between the pair, and as David Gandy, a veteran model for the brand, explains "[Stefano] sort of looks after the visuals and the branding, and Domenico is more in charge of styling and the shows. So they're very different. One has a very dry sense of humour and the other is more hand-on and in the limelight."

The video even goes into detail of the brand's humble beginnings, as Dolce explains, "We produced the first womenswear Dolce & Gabbana show alone. We organised it in one small studio, we didn't have money to pay the models so we asked all our friends to come. We didn't have any money for shoes and bags so all the people used their personal accessories. For the curtain we attached the sheet I had bought for my house, but it was too short and you could see people's feet." A far cry from a Dolce & Gabbana show these days, click here to watch excerpts of the video.
