Slang shorthand for the Italian luxury fashion house Dolce and Gabbana — a brand whose name is almost always too long to say in full in casual conversation. D&G became the everyday reference for the label, especially in the 2000s when wearing visible designer logos was a status signal. Used both approvingly by fans of the brand and dismissively by people who find loud luxury fashion excessive. The abbreviation keeps things snappy while still signalling that you know your designer labels.
She walked in wearing head-to-toe D and G — sunglasses, belt, the lot.
