Dolce&Gabbana has also leveraged Akamai's services to support the streaming of live events, such as the fashion catwalks. The fashion and luxury manufacturer was one of the first companies in Italy to offer live streaming of catwalks – both on the web and on mobile devices. In this way, the advanced technologies provided by Akamai have become a valuable platform for Dolce&Gabbana.

Leveraging Akamai's Media Delivery solution, Dolce&Gabbana has broadcast catwalks both live and on demand, streaming with an unprecedented quality and across multiple platforms, including iPhone, iPad, iTouch and Android mobile devices. Now, almost any version of the Dolce&Gabbana web site can be accessed from anywhere in the world and is supported by the Akamai Intelligent Platform.

"We are fully satisfied with Akamai and the complete suite of solutions have become essential for us," concluded the Group Director Digital Marketing & Communication at Dolce&Gabbana.

"The Dolce&Gabbana brand is famous all over the world and our customers expect the highest quality and luxury even when accessing our web site. Thanks to Akamai, we are now able to offer outstanding web performance, and to protect the famous reputation of our brand, even online."

"Once upon a time, the importance of 'brand' in the fashion industry stopped at the style and quality of the clothes designed and presented on the catwalks," stated Henri d'Oriola, VP Southern Europe, Akamai Technologies.

"Those days are long gone and, for a fashion giant such as Dolce&Gabbana, its brand value extends through everything that it does and especially to the Internet experience provided to its millions of customers worldwide. We are delighted to be working with Dolce&Gabbana to enable it to offer its customers a cutting-edge online experience to match the power of its brand regardless of wherever its customers are in the world."

Founded in 1985, Dolce&Gabbana is one of the world leaders in the luxury industry. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, the two founders, have always been the creative and stylistic source of Dolce&Gabbana and D&G, the two brands of the company, as well as the first directors of the company's growth strategies.

Akamai is the leading cloud platform for helping enterprises provide secure, high-performing user experiences on any device, anywhere.
