DOLCE&GABBANA MEN WINTER 2013
BAROQUE TAILORING

INSPIRATION

The starting point of the Dolce&Gabbana Winter 2013 men’s collection is the
strong and renowned masculine tailoring tradition, which has evolved in volumes
and processes, experimenting in new cuts and embroidery until they take on a life
of their own. A history that from its own past finds the impulse to always look for
something NEW.

COAT

The coat is the protagonist of the collection. Made in different shapes and in various
proportions, from daily items to eveningwear, becoming sometimes a cape, called
Tistera, typical in Sicilian countryside.

FABRICS

Typical of the traditional Italian tailoring, but processed and treated in new ways,
(boiled, painted, aged) such as pinstripe, herringbone, velvet and Prince of Wales,
with which coats, jackets and pants are made.
Precious, Baroque-inspired embroideries are all made of gold filigree threads and recall
the spirals one can find in churches.

SHAPES

Shapes are the natural evolution of the Italian tailoring tradition.

ACCESSORIES

The most important accessory of the collection is the shoes, embroidered and
characterised by gaiters worn over pointed and rounded-toe shoes.
Always present are the iconic Sicilian caps and romantic ribbon bow-ties.

COLOUR

All the grey hues with hints of bordeaux, dark green and camel.

SOUNDTRACK

Music from Giuseppe Verdi by Luciano Pavarotti.
