My Date with David Gandy
Posted Jun 25, 2011
After three years in Milan, I’ve finally found a boyfriend. I know, I know. It’s surprising (“who would date her”) and considering he isn’t gay, in jail or dealing drugs it’s almost unbelievable. You might actually know him. He’s tall, strong and has a great ass. His blue eyes can kill you and his accent makes you melt.
And his name is David Gandy.
During Milan Men’s Fashion week this Saturday I was backstage at
Dolce&Gabbana interviewing models (taking pictures of them in their
underwear), eating free sandwiches and generally making an ass of myself. I was
there to “work” (have fun) but mostly I was there for David.
We had our first date that afternoon. I asked him important questions like how
often he looks in the mirror, what he watches on TV and what position he
prefers to sleep in. He told me it was “the weirdest interview he’s ever done”
aka totally fell in love.
I
was hesitant at first-Italian men are notorious cheaters and he’s a bit old for
my taste (I usually go for young boys who don’t know how to read). But we had
undeniable chemistry that everyone in noticed, including Stefano Gabbana, who
had to leave the room via being totally jealous (or having to prepare for the
show but whatever).
Anyway, I know yall might not understand our romance-our meeting was so quick
and I haven’t seen him since. But long distance relationships can work, right?
And anyway if he has no time to Skype me I can always just pick up a magazine
and see him smiling at me, in the way I only know.
Our one week anniversary is coming up soon-my gift list is registered at La Rinascente and our party will be at Plastic. Till then let me know if yall see him-he hasn’t been answering my calls.

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.

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.
