What your desktop says about you
What I love most about having to work with a colleague is the opportunity to snoop around their desktop. Seeing a colleague's desktop today however disturbed me so much, I’m concerned I’m sharing office space with a serial killer...

Multi-tasking Dolce & Gabbana style
With the Cannes party any day now - the office is reaching near hysteria. Lunch has been postponed for a week as beauty appointments take priority and even massages are no longer sacred.

A new form of email vanity
When emails to your loved one are sent to his trash - is there a subliminal message I should be aware of??? Meanwhile on planet DG I'm receiving email with signatures that include images. Has the self-promotion bar been raised over the weekend?

Bath time anyone?
To many of you - and I'll admit, me included, a bath conjures up images of relaxation, a night in and some R&R time. Not of course in DG land, when on a Weds night it's time to meet the world's press and sniff out what's new.

The passive aggressive office routine
Don't worry, I'm not about to regale you all with dull office details such as when we break for lunch or when our meetings are scheduled - eeurgh. No, the inevitable has happened on planet DG. The sun is out and we're all sporting the same pieces from the SS09 collection.

Spot the coffee machine
We all know that black is worshipped on planet fashion and needless to say in DG land the same is true. All very well, but when you're desperate for a coffee and it takes 20 mins to find a machine, who's chic now?

Art smells, fashion doesn't
As Cannes is creating office hysterica the only way to escape maybe these ever so appropriate headphones seen at last night's art opening. I bargained on blocking out sound - but blocking out smell? Who knew art smelt so bad???

A day out of the office and I've made a number of observations that have me foaming at the mouth for a fix of corporate love.

How many fashionistas does it take to kill a wasp?
Today's office drama was set off by a low flying wasp. With Vogue serving as our weapon of choice, the process of tracking down the wasp didn't resemble anything I'd really want to see again, but did prove that 9/10 of my colleagues can actually run.

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!
