A Dolce & Gabbana masculine wave by Pen Japan
Posted Jun 9, 2010
Japanese are known to be very inspiring when it comes to style. Is it because they dare, because they are more self-conscious then we, Westerners? Or is it just a matter of culture and taste… Whatever the reason is, Pen Japan May 2010 issue has proven that they know what they are talking about when it comes to menswear. In a six-page spread, one can find the main Dolce&Gabbana signature items. “Extreme Beauty” is the title of this fashion story that celebrates in style the 20th menswear Anniversary that the two designers are about to commemorate in Milan on 19th June.
Like a revolution, they have established new menswear guidelines and created trends that young designers are following and future fashion designers studying. It is tailoring at its extremes. From the classic black tuxedo to the canotta or the rolled up pants, it is about aesthetic sense, comfort and freedom. Free to express himself, free to move, free to experience the world around, Mr Dolce&Gabbana could be the symbol of a fashion Nouvelle Vague.

At 27, Dolce&Gabbana have achieved an impressive status, client base and cult following. The brand’s capacity to take the artistic traditions and aesthetic of Italy and make them their own is unsurpassable and highly romantic to fashion lovers. 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.
When I was a child, my parents used to take me to a little village, where we would have almond “granita” and collect fresh water form a little drinking fountain, afterwards. This little place is called Scopello and it was time for me to return to my childhood and explore as an adult.

There’s no need to go far afield to exotic locations to find adventure. In recent years adventures have been rediscovering urban winders right on our very doorsteps.

Whilst collaborating with Swide for The Matt Silk Collection SS12 video, Luca Finotti gave us the chance to get him in front of the camera for an exclusive interview. Whether it’s talking about his love affair with the camera, his views on what ‘ugly is’ or how he keeps himself sane, the up and coming fashion director was as natural in front of the camera as he is behind it.
The Cannes Film Festival is the epitome of European high glamour on the French Riviera. Sun, surf and…suits. Swide catches three stars who put their best foot forward in Dolce&Gabbana. Gerard Butler, Mathew McConaughey and Zac Efron got suited up to face the onslaught of press photographers that infest every event at Cannes.
Kylie Minogue has had a very very good week indeed. Sparkling brighter than ever at the Cannes Film Festival premier of ‘Holy Motors’, wearing Dolce&Gabbana, and then causing explosive reaction throughout the internet when her new single and video ‘Timebomb’ was dropped today.
