A lesson in Dolce & Gabbana DNA

The acclaimed Fall 2010 collection that put seamstresses on the front stage and Dolce & Gabbana's staples on the catwalk; strutting into the future by reinterpreting one's past is what Dolce & Gabbana's lesson in DNA is all about.

TAILORING - IMPECCABLE FIT - VOLUME – PROPORTIONS

The black jacket takes centerstage: long, short, with sensual bodysuits or light chiffon.

Occasionally the jacket goes grey, and knits are worn together with the lace and lingerie that are in Dolce & Gabbana's DNA.

SENSUALITY SHAPES - TRANSPARENCY - SOFTNESS - SEDUCTION

Underwear as outerwear, classic Dolce & Gabbana.

There is more to Dolce & Gabbana's DNA: take leopard print for instance. In all matter of sizes it gets modern with the clever addition of a few polka dots and some tweed.

BEING SICILIAN - HERITAGE - THE FASCINATION OF THE PAST - DNA

Black is for lace dresses and macrame - wear with vivid red, blush pink or yellow for a little contrast. Add classic black pumps and not-so-classic men's black socks to complete the look.

Florals that read like Sicilian tapestry, recalling the coour of flowers, oranges and lemons.

Tipically Sicilian mix of sacred and profane - all the iconic symbols came out on the catwalk, Virgin Maries, saints and lucky charms, whether sown onto the garments or adorning the accessories.

Many in Italy live directly in the shadow of the county’s three active volcanoes. These fiery mountains have a pervading effect on the locals’ environment, but how do they shape their society, culture and character?
Living in the shadow of Italy’s volcanoes

Italy’s volcanoes help shape the lives of the millions of Italian’s who live in their shadows. From the historical eruptions of Vesuvius and the excavation of Pompeii, to the distinctive terroir of Sicily provided by Mount Etna, the three active volcanoes of Italy are an all powerful presence that are both benignly generous and furiously dangerous.
