The Dolce & Gabbana lottery
A drawback to mixing with A-listers is that sooner or later the desire to live an equally lavish lifestyle will hit home (or the rented studio). When this happens there's only one solution, an office lottery ticket.

Eye swide shot: Are cameras the new cocktails?
We love a party, but what we possibly love more are the poses. At a recent London party we noticed it was the clinking of cameras rather than ice-cubes that excited the fashion pack.

The surreal side of planet fashion
When we heard news of a surreal trend heading its way to fashion-land this autumn, we though how very apt that surrealism had decided to show its distorted face. Proving that life in the office is already well ahead of trends we take an exaggerated peek at what could be fashion’s favorite trend.

Teacher's pet
As we all know the office is a lot like school but without the option to leave at 4pm. As with all classroom situations this of course means some people get better marks than others. Planet DG is no different, except of course the staff are better dressed.

Model looks: The Dolce & Gabbana SS10 picks
Although we see models striding down the catwalk, we did wonder what they actually wanted to wear when they weren't slinking down the runway. Direct from the SS10 Dolce & Gabbana menswear catwalk show we asked them to reveal the pieces their coveted pieces.

The pre-holiday
It would appear that a summer holiday is not enough in glamour land. A growing trend in circles exhausted by life down the glitter face is to opt for a week's break prior to their official holiday. You have to be kidding?!

The material world
If you walked past a dry-cleaners and saw a t-shirt from Madonna's after show party hanging up in the window, would the thought of pretending to be the owner ever cross your mind...?

The professional toilet break
Now before we go any further - if you're looking for a rock and roll story, click away. In fact I was going to write about Madonna's after show party but then Mr.G beat me to it, no this is more of a professional story, and one I'd like your advice on...

Hold on tight! The man clutch is coming...
After we'd finished staring at Jesus Luz on the spring/summer 2010 Dolce & Gabbana catwalk we noticed the models were all holding onto something and it wasn't their stomachs. We investigate the new male clutch and who'll be wearing one next season.

In an exclusive interview with Swide, Mr. Gandy talks about his life and shows us that even away from the Dolce&Gabbana stage he is... a real gentleman.
This is what happened when Swide's very own Englishman in Milan, Ben Taylor, met the Italian beauty Bianca Balti. An interview, which ends with a kiss, reveals a couple of her secrets...
Together, as Swide, we shared our new year’s resolution with you, our readers. Love it or hate it, today is St. Valentine’s Day and we want to take the opportunity to share our thoughts on the Big L with you and how to be happy when in love.
We all do it, we all fall in love and it can happen any day of the year, usually when you least expect it. So why do we celebrate all lovers on this one day February 14th every year? Who was St. Valentine and why is he the patron saint of lovers?
It's Valentine's Day, and that's great. Restaurants will be thriving with happy couples celebrating. But what about singles, who want to eat alone - not only then, but all-year-round - without feeling uncomfortable?
A dozen long stemmed red roses is a thoughtful and appreciated gift. But for the more adventurous lovers out there, why not shop around for a more exotic bunch?
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and today I have a special treat for you. I have asked 7 of my illustrator friends a few questions related to this special occasion and, to make this article special, 2 of them have each prepared an original Dolce & Gabbana art work as a Valentine’s gift to the Swide readers.
Have you ever thought about Palermo as the ideal city for lovers? St. Valentine’s day is coming and I’d like to suggest to you the top 5 romantic places in my city: each location has a little story behind it all relating to love... let’s discover them!
