D&G
“It’s a garden party,” exclaimed Stefano Gabbana, preshow, of the spring D&G collection. As if there could ever be any doubt. For starters, the invitations featured oversize hydrangea prints and tiny packets of convolvulus tricolor, aka dwarf morning glory, seeds. Meanwhile, the runway was a slice of heavenly Eden — grass and various flora trimmed the wooden catwalk, the backdrop consisted of giant trellises dripping with the herbaceous stuff and, blasting through the speakers as one waited for the show, was the sound of chirping birds and dreamy instrumentals.
Then out sashayed the first model, working that girlish gardener routine to the hilt. She wore a floral-print top, baggy bubble shorts cut from raw linen and shoes topped off with a corsage; her floppy, oversize tote — complete with gardening gloves and tools — provided the perfect thematic punctuation mark. And so went the rest of the show, with Gabbana and Domenico Dolce skillfully and festively whipping up both romantic and coquettish variations on that theme. There were Seventies-style gowns, peasant blouses, overalls, ruffled bloomers and onesies, in pretty florals, ginghams and picnic-cloth checks. Apronlike skirts opened up in the back to reveal frilly bloomers for a cheeky touch, while wide culottes and jackets, in denim and oatmeal linen, tempered the season’s bloom indulgence nicely. It all made for a vibrant, cheerful take on the spring’s emerging bohemian trend. Adding to that sense of whimsical fun — graphic tanks and Ts featuring Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. A spirited heigh-ho, indeed. Via WWD.

Staying true to form, Dolce and Gabbana share their vision of shamelessly open sexuality, building on a history of candor and direction. Even hardened anti-male-pussification campaigners have to admire Dolce and Gabbana’s tenacity and unwavering determination.

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana make an appearance in Nine.
wanted so much to be part of this project!” said the excited designers. “Federico Fellini has always been one of our greatest sources of inspiration, one of the most important Italian directors. For us, being part of a movie inspired by the work of the maestro is like a dream come true.”
Dolce & Gabbana share a screen with Daniel Day Lewis, but there’s plenty of admiration for the rest of the esteemed cast. “Rob Marshall did an amazing work and the cast is amazing!” continued the duo. “He was able to put together the most beautiful and talented actresses of various generations and great actors. We couldn’t be more happy to be chosen, even if for a short appearance.”

Hats off to Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana as they paid homage to Elio Fiorucci’s colorful and graphic style in their D&G show on Tuesday, with Fiorucci himself looking on. In these days of selfish egotistical fashion minds it’s heartening to find such a supreme demonstration of magnanimity – nice one guys!
Fiorucci said the duo have a special “antennae” to peg down what’s new.
Fiorucci himself was an innovator in the Seventies and Eighties, so it’s no surprise Dolce and Gabbana singled out the Fiorucci store, designed as a discotheque, as a prime Milan hangout.
“They say they felt at ease and in a different world,” said Fiorucci.
Do Dolce & Gabbana convey their homosexuality too strongly in this Adv Campaign? And is this likely to alienate their hetrosexual audience and consumers?
Paris, Jean Bouin Arena, a symbolic place for Rugby. It’s in this “temple of Sport” that Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana created the new D&G Underwear Adv Campaign, with five Italian champions and photographer Randall Mesdon. Sergio Parisse, Denis Dallan, Ezio Galon, Andrea Masi e Gonzalo Canale are the athletes D&G chose to represent the contemporary man, and his lifestyle.
The impressive bodies sculpted through dedication, discipline and physically strenuous trainings, make them the perfect models for a new ideal of beauty that is healthy, clean and masculine. Randall Mesdon enhanced the statuesque lines of their body, the very same body which is that of real-life gladiators , scarred by strong encounters with worthy opponents. Because it’s the fight, but also the utter sportsmanship with which it is carried on, that makes Rugby one of the most fascinating and captivating disciplines out there.
Following perhaps years of speculation, D&G Dolce & Gabbana take a tartan exploration. Whether tartan has the potential to become a part of mainstream fashion only time will tell.
Established in 1985, Dolce & Gabbana is one of today’s leading international luxury goods groups. The two founders, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, have always been the creative and stylistic source of the two brands, Dolce & Gabbana and D&G Dolce & Gabbana, and the originators of a growth strategy based on balanced development and focus on the core business. The Group designs, produces and distributes high-end clothing, leather goods, footwear and accessories under the Dolce & Gabbana and D&G Dolce & Gabbana brands. Through a series of licensing agreements, it also produces and distributes fragrances and eyewear for the Dolce & Gabbana and D&G Dolce & Gabbana brands and timepieces and jewels for the D&G Dolce & Gabbana brand. Continuous growth over the years has given the Dolce & Gabbana group a solid base, and paved the way for further expansion. In addition to being the sole owner of the two brands, the Group is also wholly responsible for the management and control of the three business divisions: Production, Distribution and Licences. The Group has direct control over the entire value chain, from creation to sale, for both brands, with the exception of products under licence. Manufacturing operations are headed by Dolce & Gabbana Industria S.p.A., which operates the two production facilities, in Legnano and Incisa in Val d’Arno.
The wholesale distribution in Europe of the Dolce & Gabbana and D&G brands is managed by the head offices from Milan. The directly operated stores are controlled by DGS S.p.A in Italy and by local companies, reporting directly to Dolce & Gabbana S.r.l., throughout the rest of Europe. The monitoring of foreign markets is carried out by the subsidiaries in New York, Tokyo and Hong Kong, which, entirely controlled by Dolce & Gabbana S.r.l. co-ordinate the management of retail and wholesale distribution in their respective territorial areas. With specific reference to the Chinese market, the Hong Kong branch operates directly on the territory via local structures in Shanghai, Hangzhou and Taipei. In addition, branches in Rome, London, Paris, Barcelona and Düsseldorf have recently been opened for the distribution of the D&G Dolce & Gabbana brand.
