Adolfo Dominguez was born May 14, 1950. He studied design and cinematography in Paris, with further studies in London.
He took over his father’s fashion boutique in Ourense in the early 1970s and spent the following years developing his own designs, and finally made the big jump with a presentation of his work in Madrid in 1981. 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.
