Thanks to Swide you cannot go wrong and even better you will get noticed for your sense of style and appropriate choices. A modern gentleman is hard to please but the challenge worth the rewards. So roll up your silky or knitted sleeves and let’s start:
In a play mode… how about getting closer and enjoy a one to one rendez-vous
around an
Asprey
backgammon set. Throw a dice and gamble macaroons or real coins… Depending
on how far you want the relationship to go. To cash what you have summed up,
fold the notes in one of the two
Dolce&Gabbana
wallets and hand them over to him as a set.
Classy and smarty, a man’s sense of style lies in the shoes, to be polished,
refined and from
Dolce&Gabbana,
the quintessential Italian brand when dealing with menswear.
If fan of design and home furniture,
John
Pawson’s candlesticks are just small enough to fit in Christmas socks but
minimalist enough to slip into any pre –defined interior decoration.
New year, new green resolutions, help him to do so with a very unique
handmade Italian bicycle by
Dodicicicli.
Perfectly tailored wheels, for a stand tall position. It should take him
everywhere and will, just leave a note on the saddle notifying your next
aperitivo. To complete a look and make sure that he does not miss it while
riding his bike, add a pair of
aviator
inspired frames they are as much classic as they are of this season… In a
word it is effortless chic guaranteed all year long.
And because it is the “raise your glass” time of year, why not let him zip his
Martini
in a red Champagne coupe. Bring out the
polka
dot bow, for the occasion he can and he should. It is fun, still smart
'cause black&white plus spray on it
The
One Gentleman men fragrance by Dolce&Gabbana. Isn’t he a real
gentleman after all? If not your one and only...

DNA Coding: The Corset
At 27, Dolce&Gabbana have achieved an impressive status, client base and cult following.

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.
