In 2014, he won the National Designer Prize.[1] Dominguez studied Philosophy and Arts, specialising in Art at Santiago University.[2] As of 2023, the group operates 350 points of sale across 24 countries, with 53% of its network situated outside Spain. For the 2023–24 fiscal year, it reported a revenue of 114 million euros.[3]
Fashion business
[edit]He took over his father's fashion boutique in Ourense in the early 1970s. 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 grew into a chain with outlets across Spain and abroad. The company went public in 1997.[4] Adolfo Dominguez S.A. currently has a network of around 400 branches, 98 of which are outside Spain.[5] Annual turnover around 182 million euros.[6]
Style
[edit]His perfume line is owned by Puig.[7]
