I think a few years back it was all about LV and Coach. Every women I see these days have something from D & G. So what's going to be the new fad brand in the next few years?
Is D & G what's "in" today?

Dolce & Gabbana, I imagine. I can't keep up with fashion myself, so I have no idea why I know that.

Sadly, I knew exactly what D&G meant. However, I'm married, which is what saved me from punching myself in my own balls repeatedly.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. You make a lot of assumptions with that claim. A lot of these brands you speak of are "cool" because they are usually quality goods at a very high price point. The fact that they carry a high price point keeps them from being popular. If they were popular, then they wouldn't be special, and thus people with larger bank accounts (or credit cards) would not be so willing to overpay for them.
If you ask an average American about what they buy, none of these brands will be popular. Some may desire them, but a lot of it is artificial inflation of worth through advertising and word of mouth. Certainly these are not items for the common person, which is a highly suggested theme with the word popular.
Now, because you know of all of these brands, it's possible that you are immersed in a social culture where these are popular. That doesn't make it true for everyone everywhere though.

And I can find the following definitions:
Suited to or intended for the general masses of people;
Suited to the means of ordinary people; not expensive;
Regarded with favor, approval, or affection by people in general;
Once again, there is a false hype that brands like Coach build about themselves. People buy into it, and the ones who feel like they can afford it purchase it. One of the companies even has a higher tier of product not much different then their regular line but about 5x more expensive with an even larger hype.
