A Joyful picnic by D&G

Posted Jun 22, 2010

Imagine a picnic with family and friends. Light fabrics, such as the omnipresent cotton from jackets to the trend-forward espadrilles.

Everything in retro Vichy prints or actually printed on digitally. A modern take on romantic images, such as Édouard Manet’s “Le déjeuner sur l’herbe”, and on classically summery Hawaiian prints or the ever elegant Vichy. The combinations vary, they all can be combined together, embellishing the paysage.  A total bliss of summer taking the imagery from the past, and not only. Memories in a grander scale of festivity and celebration. Pure and happy.

Full on. Vichy. Light like a shirt. With Hawaiian prints. They create a full-on effect with the shirt.

 
 A Polo. Retro inspection of the 50s. Bowling collars and pique knit. Picture perfect.

 
Total chino. Long or short. Trousers or bermudas. Watch for cuffed details.

 
Suede jackets. The open-work is so detailed and small you can’t see it. Put your zipper down and show the shirt’s print.

 
Short sleeves on a cardigan, shirt or a polo underneath, showing off the print.

 
Festive Shirts Vichy or Hawaiian. A double, sometimes triple theme.

 
Ready for a summer party in the garden, elegant pastel tuxedos.

 

 The must-have espadrilles and picnic accessories: delightful.

DNA Coding: The Corset

At 27, Dolce&Gabbana have achieved an impressive status, client base and cult following.

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.
