The pleasure, Mr. David Gandy, was all ours...
Wherever he goes, no matter what he does, you can guarantee that all eyes will be on David Gandy. He commands all attention.

Well, of course he is… let's see how.

I wanna be an Italian Man
To this kind of e-mail one doesn't know how to reply. Are you a woman? Or just a man from a sexually disabled country. The mini-laundrette answers.

Dating Lessons from Dolce & Gabbana
In the mood for “I thought I had seen it all”, I must say “but I haven't done it all”. In the land of desperate single women fighting on the dating scene, fans ask wardrobe tricks that could seduce even a dead man.

Where is my Dolce&Gabbana Bikini?
What happens when someone from Swide forgets her bikini in the office? Isn't it SO unfair to work for the sexiest brand and not be able to show it on the beach?

The Future of Fashion is: Naked
No need to kill yourself over what next season might bring. Professor X from NewBumbleFin University warns against a major threat: climate change. Don't laugh, you might need to shed some skin, not pounds.

Fishermen Talking: Can we get the SS11 Collection?
Sicilian fishermen are feeling a bit left out. All those references to the sea, to fishing, to sun-tanned clothes...

I want a Dolce & Gabbana Hotel to stay at
So not every dream is possible, definitely can't build a hotel overnight. But if we keep wishing for it maybe it will appear?

A Dolce & Gabbana Show at Paris Couture?
The readers ask, apparently after seeing some Italian designers migrating to Paris for Couture, they are wondering why Dolce&Gabbana doesn't do the same.

A case of the puppy love
Inspiration comes in many unexpected ways to the lovely people filling our inbox this week: we've got dogwalkers, potential buyers of designer Easter eggs and... well, there is also this e-mail from HR which is substantially less "lovely".

Access no areas
We are sensing some fashion week excitement all around and that would include our mailbox; we do understand fashion is a passion to many but where are your manners people?

The metaphorical Swide diet
This week it seems eating was on everyone's mind and so we turned nutritionists and concierge. After that it was all back to normal as we crushed more hopes and dreams...

Selling snow to eskimos
This week our mailbox is full of budding entrepreneurs wanting to sell us not only part of various third world countries - but a jewellery collection and a new sportswear brand. What part of Dolce & Gabbana do people not understand exactly??

Where are Kylie's clothes?
Is it the snow or the dark nights? We have no idea except that our poor mailbag has put on weight and we try to help a Kylie fan go to the ball.

Glitter & Masks for Halloween
Some people are ready to pay “any money” to get anything remotely related to fashion. And when someone is so desperate to find whatever mask they were wearing on Bob Sinclair's video... what can a mini-laundrette do?

I Be A Blogger Po(o)r Dolce & Gabbana
Time to do some dirty laundry action. Everyone has skeletons in their closets, we have bloggers who have seen the light. Meaning they stood under their own safety torch that works with batteries.

Can I have the "entire" collection please
Youth angst always creates some bizarre hang ups. In fashion we are open to most of them. However, even certain requests top the list.

Fake Models take over the Fashion Shows
We have been invaded by models' requests: they all seem to think we are running a parallel modeling agency. You need a duplicate of Sam Webb, Noah Mills, River Viiperi...? At least designers won't be fighting over them during the next shows.

Ooh la la... A model dishes out!
Used as we are to fanmail (little white lie no.1), we were disappointed to find a rather miserable-looking inbox this week, save from one rather juicy missive from a noted model who got writing about the other side of the catwalk backstage; and while we despise gossip (little white lie no.2), we felt it was our duty to share.

Lonely hearts needn't apply
Swide is very much feeling the inbox love only days prior to Valentine's though we're definitely reminded of the old adage that love comes in unusual ways - some leaving us much warmer inside than others...

They shoot fashionistas, don't they...
A wind of prudishness has been blowing through our inbox lately; it seems that men's fashion week has gotten quite a few of our readers worked up for some pretty unexpected reasons... though perhaps we shouldn't be speaking so fast...

We locate a muse
Not only having to respond to our usual 'special' Dolce&Gabbana fans, in the spirit of the current economic climate we've also been given the task of answering letters from our very own Swide readers. How pleased we are.

Models with potential
Perhaps it's the credit crunch - or that people are just getting better looking? Whatever it is this week's mail-bag is full of models wanting our attention. Can we live on models alone?

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.
Andrea Preti invites us to one of his Dolce&Gabbana shoots and gives us a sneak peek into his pre-shoot routine and also shares some of his body secrets. But when you're in demand like Andrea is, a 5 minute chat is never easy...
I honestly fail to see sense in Valentine's day if you're a day over 13-years-old. Single people use it as an excuse to complain about being single (all men are jerks and all girls are crazy and whatnot), and couples ignore it or use it as an excuse to invite single friends over for dinner and boast about their love.
New York Fashion Week is on from February 9th: here are 5 Swide tips on how to take a break between one fashion show and the next.
When the Swide team was backstage at the Men’s Dolce&Gabbana FW13 fashion show, we couldn’t help but eavesdrop on what the male models were talking about; the questions that girls ask them again and again and again.
We’re living in a golden age of sport and especially for tennis. Years from now when we look back at sporting history of tennis the narrative will be all about three names: Rodger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. The scary thing is of the three, it’s Djokovic who still has to write the greatest chapter in his tennis story. Here are 5 reasons why Novak is the greatest of all time:
Celebrities can’t get enough of them! Fergie, Bianca Balti, Claudia Schiffer, Penelope Cruz and Chiara Francini are amongst those who have been bitten by the Dolce Bag bug, and there is no surprise as to why.
A fiercely cold winter evening in London didn’t deter the Stamford Bridge faithful from getting behind their beloved Chelsea and packing out the stadium as they hosted Manchester United. I on the other hand didn’t have to brave the cold as I got to watch the game from the luxury of the Dolce&Gabbana Lounge pitch-side at the Bridge.
