Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce's southern Italian sensibilities shine through this in this forthcoming standout collection that celebrates their love of their female form. Combining tactile fabrics such as antique lace and macramé the result is a sexy transparency and a sensual silhouette.
Crochet is apparent throughout the collection including on its accessories such as the designer's iconic Miss Sicily handbag - a favourite of both Madonna and Victoria Neckham. The crochet is handcrafted in Italy and has a deep sartorial history with the designers - seen in their earlier iconic collections during the nineties.
Lace is fused with a South American twist - silk fringing on black lace dresses suggests glamourous evenings spent at a tango bar.
The designers use their iconic black and white Sicilian colour palette to convey a mix of glamour and sensuality that screams timeless elegance rather than a one-off fashion moment.
Accessories get a feminine twist with handcrafted fabrics which create iconic and timeless pieces.
Dolce & Gabbana have always celebrated the feminine form and by using lace, crochet and net - the designer’s timeless silhouettes have a new lightness for spring.
White lace skirts offer a sleek alternative for spring paired with Dolce & Gabbana's summer crochet version of the Miss Sicily bag.
Dolce & Gabbana combine their iconic corset pieces with layers of lace and crochet to create a woman's forms.

The Super Bowl is upon us and everyone is talking about the halftime performance that Madonna will be putting on with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. ‘Give Me All Your Luvin’ ‘ got it’s video release today to tempt us further and judging the way it plays out, the Super Bowl certainly inspired her…
It's the night of the year: no, not New Year's Eve, but the one in which real men gather to watch Super Bowl. For all the football addicted who didn't make it to the stadium and are enjoying it from the couch, here are 3 recipes by Gnam Box to give the US hamburger an Italian twist.
Apparently, the Super Bowl isn't only a chance for a pop singer to get on a stage with the whole US of A watching. No, it seems that there's also a certain amount of interest in a game of football (their football, you know, American football) that happens before and after the pop performance. Who knew?
The cheeky chap hailing from Devon, England, gave Swide something to smile about when he was caught backstage at the Men’s Dolce&Gabbana SS12 fashion show. From modelling to his skills in the kitchen, Sam Way charmed his way through our questions and here is what happened.
There is a whole world of options out there for art lovers. Swide picked for you 5 exhibitions you can't miss on February. Paris, London, New York, Berlin, Madrid… there are many chances to enjoy art. Every month Swide picks the most interesting exhibits worldwide for you.
Berlin is the city that looks and feels like the capital of Europe. An old world history supports the modern avant-garde of contemporary art, fashion, theatre and performing arts. On the occasion of the opening the Dolce&Gabbana boutique, Swide has picked 5 places you can’t miss while visiting Berlin, the city where past and future converge.
Leslye Headland’s ‘Bachelorette’ premiered at the Eccles Theatre during the Sundance Film Festival and it is trying to battle off comparisons to the amazing ‘Bridesmaids’. Relying on its darker tones to differentiate itself, Kirsten plays a mean, mean girl in the film, for whom love comes last, but in reality she is secretly waiting to be surprised by Mr. Right.
Adrien Brody couldn’t be more New York if he tried. He epitomises the urbane sophisticated gentleman. Since establishing himself on the Hollywood A-List, Brody lives the life of a movie star. With constant speculation about who is or isn’t dating, Brody keeps everyone guessing. That’s part of his mystique, he’s a private guy, a committed actor and has a real artistic nature.
