There are certain equations in life that are simple: don't wear brown with black, do wear white but only until labor day.... Some are a bit more complicated but easy to grasp nevertheless: Dolce & Gabbana, Dolce & Gabbana Women, Femininity, Sensual.... adds up to: Lace. If you can think of something more feminine and sensual than lace raise your hand. Of course, there isn't. It's not for nothing that lingerie is directly connected to this exquisite fabric designers Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana have celebrated over the years and now go even as far as dedicating the 2011 eyewear collection to it. Here are some bits and fashion details on both grounds:
Here is an alluring 80s shape model with solid coloured acetate rims and
authentic lace temples. Black & Red (DG 4121)
One of the four iconic styles of the Lace Collection 2011. Handmade inlaying of
real lace is what makes it even more glam.
The absolite icon: lace throughout the entire frame, 50s inspired, the Queen of
Hollywood glam when it comes to sunglasses. (DG 4116)
Refined and oversized shades to celebrate femininity.
Exotic and provocative: lush colours, strong prints, lace supremacy. (DG 4111M)
The pretty colours of the collection: blue and white. Cat's eye shaped model.
