Luxury brand D&G, which also works closely with US powerhouse Kim Kardashian, is said to have big plans for the 28-year-old star.
A source told the Mail: “This is an amazing deal for Maya and it takes her career to the next level.
“It has been in the works for a while, and she is so happy that it is finally done, and she can tell people.
“It’s the start of something really big for her and Dolce and Gabbana.”
It’s the second big money brand deal Maya has signed in recent months, coming hot on the heels of her collaboration with makeup giant Rimmel.
Earlier this month Maya rubbed shoulders with A-listers like Kim K and Dame Helen Mirren at an exclusive Dolce & Gabbana event in Puglia, Italy, for the launch of its latest Alta Moda collection.
She had a cosy selfie with brand boss Domenico Dolce which showed just how highly thought of she is.
Since landing the Love Island host job at the turn of the year, Maya’s stock has risen at a rapid rate.
Gracing the of the August edition of Vogue was a career highlight and dream come true.
Maya said: “I was just pinching myself the whole time. I didn’t sleep.”
The star headed off to New York to be pictured by legendary snapper Steven Meisel for the feature.
During the interview, Maya – who is half Swedish and half Somali,- opened up about her romance with music star Stormzy.
She told the fashion bible: “None of us really knew the level of importance it held to a certain group of people, us being together.
“We were both super ambitious. We were both from similar upbringings and we were both just little grafters that have made something good of ourselves.”
Asked about their split in 2019 following four years of dating, Maya admitted: “It was lovely when it was lovely, and then you move.”
Discussing how she deals with break-ups, Maya, who recently called off her engagement to NBA star Ben Simmons, shared: “Yeah, I’ve got that harshness. I don’t want revenge, I just want you to always feel like, ‘I’m so f**king sad I’ve lost them.’ You’re going to miss my presence based on my absence.
“The best thing you can do is try and do everything that made you happy before you met them.”
