Gone are the days you could buy one single season forward item and stay on
the edge of trends. FW12 is a complete makeover session, if not yours, that of
your wardrobe. Some spelling sessions are also involved: the letters of the
alphabet compose the colourful prints. Graphic and masculine silhouettes,
layers, a mix of fabrics. It’s a neon-like experience, punchy and fun. The
absolute must-have? The wedgy sneakers. A touch of urban. And the finale
feathery-ballerina skirts. Most pop-definitely. A palette of 13 colours to be
remixed and the casual boxy t-shirt to play with. Ready to pop-up your
video?
Oversized
masculine jackets dress up the tube skirts and dresses with high-waist in
jacquard knitwear and shrunken wool. A free-new silhouette for skirts in
shrunken wool that mix with boxy sweaters. Take down the new
skirt-length:
A
mix of fabrics to put together the look: shrunken wool, jacquard and chiffon,
jersey and knitwear, silk and fur, the perfect duo-combo. A tender appeal that
doesn’t lose its
vigor.
The
new trendy overcoats that take the scene: silk bombers soft like a bubble of
clouds, silk parkas with fur lining. Layers, different lengths, boxy sweaters,
short, mini-skirts, over-the-knee footless stockings, the parade of shapes gives
the collection its playful
appeal.
Thirteen
colors take over the finale with puffy – yet perfectly fitted – fleece skirts.
Perfect for an
after-evening.
The
line-up for the accessories: matching perfectly the bright palette of colours,
necklaces, bracelets, and eighties style warfare-inspired sunglasses either
total black or with a spritz of lettering.
Fall-Winter 2012 creates new bag expectations: bright Anja and Lia are the must-have clutches.
High-heels even when you feel like wearing sneakers. The right compromise of elegance and sporty? Definitely a must-trend that is very urban indeed.
FW 2011 now available in the D&G online store

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.
