What make Dolce&Gabbana so successful, iconic and admired is that their basic stylistic codes are clean, clear and easily decipherable. Over 25 years Dolce&Gabbana have been able to adopt themes, fabrics or single items of clothing and re interpret it in their own style. The suit, the body con dress, the masculine look, lace, the corset are all historical fashion tools or phenomena which today have become synonymous with the brand’s style. In doing so, Dolce&Gabbana have not only been able to exhume pivotal fashion statements, but also ensure the brand’s relevance in the past, present and future. ]]> Sun, 12 Feb 2012 17:52:00 +0100 http://www.swide.com/luxury-magazine/History/DG-Archive/dg-archive-bustini/2012/2/12 http://www.swide.com/luxury-magazine/History/DG-Archive/dg-archive-bustini/2012/2/12
