My Secret Eyes inside Dolce & Gabbana
Posted Jul 7, 2011
“In the morning, especially if you are still sleepy, it’s not always easy to deal with a gigantic portrait of David Gandy that others will only get to see in 2013. A few days ago, Yuri Ahn – the Fashion Editor of Swide - and I tried a make-up product to be released at Christmas just for fun.
My Secret Eyes walked into the showroom and watched international buyers filling up orders for next season.
They are as I excited as I am to get to see everything first, but personally I prefer to see the previews of the shows.
My Secret Eyes saw Domenico Dolce throw into the trash an entire segment just before the show. Last time it happened, (I obviously can’t let you in what was cancelled), it was two days before the show, right when Domenico and Stefano usually round up the troops, I saw an entire stack of clothes end very badly.
My Secret Eyes could not believe it. However, a few days later, the show looked amazing.
At some point my Secret Eyes caught a famous celebrity walk into the celebrity office and walk out a couple hours later with a smile on her face and two heavy Dolce&Gabbana bags.
My Secret Eyes had a chance to see the amazing new e-commerce platform for Dolce&Gabbana. Only a few days to go and you will too.”
PS: Ah! I was forgetting. Just in stores the new make-up product that will make your lashes amazingly long. We had seen it couple of months ago. It’s called Secret Eyes.

At 27, Dolce&Gabbana have achieved an impressive status, client base and cult following. The brand’s capacity to take the artistic traditions and aesthetic of Italy and make them their own is unsurpassable and highly romantic to fashion lovers. Their idiosyncratic designs, ironic take on classic dress and the brand’s emblematic items have all contributed in making Dolce&Gabbana a household name. For this instalment of our archive lead considerations of what makes up the Dolce&Gabbana DNA we concentrate on maybe one of the strongest statement the designers have made over the years: the corset.

The scenario is…you are only in London for 24hrs. This doesn’t have to mean being stuck in your hotel wanting but not knowing what to do. Enlightened travellers continually ask the question - What would a Londoner do? Have no fear Luxury London is here…
There’s no need to go far afield to exotic locations to find adventure. In recent years adventures have been rediscovering urban winders right on our very doorsteps.

It appears that Ivan Olita’s scouting has led him straight to New York City’s very own scout, a movie location scout to be exact. Nick Carr’s job means that he gets to explore every nook and cranny that NYC has to offer, allowing him to discover the hidden details that many wouldn’t see. Ivan Investigates…
Whilst collaborating with Swide for The Matt Silk Collection SS12 video, Luca Finotti gave us the chance to get him in front of the camera for an exclusive interview. Whether it’s talking about his love affair with the camera, his views on what ‘ugly is’ or how he keeps himself sane, the up and coming fashion director was as natural in front of the camera as he is behind it.
The Cannes Film Festival is the epitome of European high glamour on the French Riviera. Sun, surf and…suits. Swide catches three stars who put their best foot forward in Dolce&Gabbana. Gerard Butler, Mathew McConaughey and Zac Efron got suited up to face the onslaught of press photographers that infest every event at Cannes.
Kylie Minogue has had a very very good week indeed. Sparkling brighter than ever at the Cannes Film Festival premier of ‘Holy Motors’, wearing Dolce&Gabbana, and then causing explosive reaction throughout the internet when her new single and video ‘Timebomb’ was dropped today.
