in 2012, d&g was merged with dolce & gabbana in order to strengthen the main line. the final independent d&g collection was the spring/summer 2012 collection shown in september 2011. "the new yorker" published in 2005 that, "dolce and gabbana are becoming to the two-thousands what prada was to the nineteen-nineties and armani was to the nineteen-eighties—"gli stilisti" whose sensibility defines the decade." as for personal awards, in both 1996 and 1997 dolce & gabbana were named by "fhm" as the designers of the year. in 2003 "gq magazine" named dolce & gabbana among their "men of the year". the following year readers of "british elle" voted dolce & gabbana the best international designers at the 2004 elle style awards. dolce & gabbana celebrated the 20th anniversary of their brand on 19 june 2010 at the piazza della la scala and palazzo marino in milan. a public exhibition was also held the following day that included a room in which several dozen televisions were piled haphazardly upon each other, each showing a different collection from the design house's twenty-year history.

in terms of market expansion, in 1989 dolce & gabbana signed an agreement with the kashiyama group to open their first boutique in japan. they released their first fragrance for women in 1992, called "dolce & gabbana pour femme", which was awarded the perfume academy's 1993 award for best feminine fragrance of the year. their first male fragrance, "dolce & gabbana pour homme", was the recipient of the best masculine fragrance of the year award from the same academy in 1995. that year dolce & gabbana's collections caused a controversy with the british and italian press, when they selected the american gangster motif as inspiration for their work. dolce & gabbana transposed this fall/winter 1995 inspiration onto women's wear, which critics stated brought an erotic edge to the clothing. the duo had used the motif before in 1992 when photographer steven meisel shot an ad campaign for the house in which the models posed in "gangster chic". this included wide-lapelled 1930s style coats and black leather caps.
