Fashion business
editHe 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]
