Swide Magazine by Dolce&Gabbana

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...

I like your magazine and those male models are cute. I figured I would ask for some diet tips as fashion types like you ought to be very good at being skinny. I already tried the Sarkozy diet you featured but I found that despite eating all the cottage cheese I could get my hands on there was very little result - if anything it made things a little worse. I am quite keen to shift the pounds ahead of the summer and so would greatly appreciate a few pointers. Cheers, *****. x

Unfortunately there is no such thing as a Swide diet (or we would have written the book and made millions already) but we seem to observe a few set rules: a large glass of water upon waking up and another one for breakfast, a mug of water for the 11am munchies and two more for lunch; we might have another one mid-afternoon which should see us all the way to dinner. Then upon getting home we quit the pretence we might be another fashion cliché with an eating disorder and gorge on pasta, bread, cheese, red meat and all sorts of refined sugars (which we also tend to eat throughout the day in between all that water). So that would be our "diet"; then again you would only call us skinny from a distance... (Once and for all: "fashion types" with eating disorders = another tired urban legend.)

I was hoping you could help me with a little something ahead of Valentines' day. I am planning on taking my girlfriend to Milan (we are very much in love and she loves Italy and fashion and I'm hoping to catch the AC Milan game on the 12th) and I thought it'd be a cool idea to take her to the Dolce & Gabbana restaurant (I also hear some of the AC Milan players are often seen there); we are students so I wanted to ask if you could get me like a Friends & Family discount which I'm sure you guys can ask for. Looking forward to your reply, many thanks!

Swide loves romance and would like nothing more than to assist you in this matter; however we're feeling your whole plan is a little unimaginative and suggest you celebrate ahead of the date (surprise effect) and why not do so at the AC Milan game... Nothing says I love you dearly more than a semi-defrosted hot dog on the plastic chairs of San Siro... You're welcome!

Best regards,

I am a young student of fashion and I am very good at what I do. I started sewing my own clothing age 8 and have been developing a signature style ever since. I very much like what Mr Dolce and Mr Gabbana do but I think my suggestions really could take them to the next level. I am happy to meet them soon before the next fashion week so I can assist them with the upcoming collection.

(You'll find a portfolio from my 1st year as well as sketches from a few years back.)

Dear young fashion student,

While the designers would no doubt be curious about reaching the next level (just as we are curious to understand what that next level would be seeing as though they already own a global, highly successful fashion house...), you will find that cutting animal-shaped holes in your mother's gingham tablecloth does not actually qualify as sewing. Maybe try a designer with more of a grungey approach.
