Have a Sweet—Dolce—& Gabbana New Year!
As we close out the old year and look forward to the new one, I have begun to set our compass on what the griffes are predicting for 2011.Hopefully not sounding like a broken record, the focus of this site is on emerging designers, yet without forgetting the long emerged.
As for a griffe that has been long established in the men’s world of fashion, there is probably none other than Dolce and Gabbana.
Two Italian men who were not afraid to express their bold views on raw masculinity, fearless femininity, elegant sensuality, and refined fragility…
With the equivalent of $1,000 in their pocket, Dolce and Gabbana embarked on their label a little over 25 years ago.
Stefano Gabbana was born 1962 in Milano, Italy; while Domenico Dolce was born 1958 outside Palermo in Sicily.
The two young men met 1980 in Milano and soon formed a partnership; today, they continue business as friends.
For 2011, Dolce & Gabbana fix their attention on “Sicilian Sensuality,” continuing their theme from 2010.
So, I would like to say Happy New Year to all with this video of Dolce & Gabban spring/summer 2011 collection:

2011 According to Dolce & Gabbana
Summertime TailoringExtra light washed silk. Linen and raw hemp woven like baskets.
Shirts in poplin and washed muslin cotton. Extra light washed and rubbed-down cotton. Sandblasted denim.
Sweaters in jute or in interwoven jute and leather. Extra light silk sweaters.
Open-work leather shoes or made with new techniques to hand-sew leather. Interwoven Sicilian style leather sandals.
String or leather sandals like those worn by Sicilian fishermen.
Interwoven leather bags that take inspiration from those used by the farmers in the South of Italy.
Soft volumes and sensuality: everything is made in the most classic and traditional summertime tailoring TRADITION.
Light and Shadow
White and black suits with an “out-in-the-sun” effect: the colors of the fabric look like they faded away because of the long exposure in the sun.
The color of sand hints the beach, while beige recalls the tangle of peasants’ baskets.
Heat
The need and desire to slow down from the hectic rhythm of life thus taking back one’s own time.
The whole collection turns around the concept of a more relaxed and sensual kind of elegance.
This concept is also expressed through swimsuits made of knitwear and coordinated with the sweaters that recall the popular concept of the famous “Italian Vitelloni.”
