Fashion business

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. 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. Adolfo Dominguez S.A. currently has a network of around 400 branches, 98 of which are outside Spain. Annual turnover around 182 million euros.
