Dolce & Gabbana collections always have an element of Sicilian in them - this collection is no exception.
Taking inspiring from the cult classic film, The Leopard, the bags reflect the aristocratic wealth, and dazzling golden Baroque architecture of this Sicilian historical period.
Complementing the rich and metallic fabrics of the SS09 collection, these sleek styles are adorned with all manner of jewellery from pearls, and gemstone, to gold and silver chains - perfect for adding glitz to an evening outfit or a chic shine to a daytime look.

Together, as Swide, we shared our new year’s resolution with you, our readers. Love it or hate it, today is St. Valentine’s Day and we want to take the opportunity to share our thoughts on the Big L with you and how to be happy when in love.

A dozen long stemmed red roses is a thoughtful and appreciated gift. But for the more adventurous lovers out there, why not shop around for a more exotic bunch?
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.
