20 years of sicilianità at Dolce & Gabbana
Posted Jun 5, 2010
Like the sartorialità and sensualità, sicilianità is a very Italian concept; it refers to Sicily but not only. It is about reinterpreting the Sicilian codes of elegance. Fabrics borrowed from a woman’s wardrobe are found on masculine cuts. Stefano and Domenico definitely have the talent to dress men in a refined way that transforms them into gentlemen. No macho with “biscottos” here but a gentle Monsieur. Someone with whom, fashionable woman that we are, would fall in love with.

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.
When I was a child, my parents used to take me to a little village, where we would have almond “granita” and collect fresh water form a little drinking fountain, afterwards. This little place is called Scopello and it was time for me to return to my childhood and explore as an adult.
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.

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.
