2010 Spring Milan Fashion Week: Dolce & Gabbana

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:30:22 -0700

It was all about passion and romance at Dolce & Gabbana's Spring showing at Milan Fashion Week. Showing utmost creative capability, the designers made a heavenly mix of sexy menswear-inspired suits, lace dresses, floral-printed separates, blouson shorts, and tiered frocks. "[The collection] is sexy, but not too sexy. . . . We're talking about sensuality," said Domenico Dolce. And that they did via bold, leopard prints, scintillating corsets, and a slick play on see-through dressing via black netting and mesh.

There was no limit to their imagination - the duo drew influences spanning from Madonna to Sicily - and created something for everyone. Classic, sophisticated gals will undoubtedly immerse themselves in Dolce & Gabbana's vintage white-lace dresses; hip darlings can revel in their floral and animal printed pieces; and sporty minimalists can celebrate in their selection of tailored suits. The emerging odd trend of the season - pantless one-pieces - were prominent and some of my favorite for Spring thus far. Bravi Domenico and Stefano!

Dolce and Gabbana Slashes Prices (!)

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Dolce and Gabbana customers, get ready for something major: 10 to 20 percent lower retail prices for both the main and D&G lines. The Italian designing duo has slashed its prices because of the current economic state. "In this moment of uncertainty, people spend more willingly on travel or spas rather than on a new dress. We want to work for the final consumer," Gabbana said.

But fret not, the quality of the clothes won't be sacrificed. Instead of hundreds of fabrics, the designers are now using dozens. Plus, constructions will be simpler, and alternative stitching techniques will be used. According to Dolce, "This is the only way to save the market and our companies. It’s time to turn the page." Agreed.

Fab Flash: Bundchen by Dolce & Gabbana

It looks like Kate Moss may have opened the floodgates for supermodels designing clothes: Gisele is set to design a range of clothing with Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

Although she has been prodded by various offers to design in the past, Gisele stuck to modeling and endorsing until Dolce & Gabbana gave her an offer she couldn't refuse. The line, Bundchen by Dolce & Gabbana, is set to unveil next Spring. I wonder if it will include any bikinis . . .

Fab Ad: D&G Fall '09

FabSugar — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 09:00:22 -0700

I don't think Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have the word "simple" in their vocabulary. Their Dolce & Gabbana Fall '09 ads are Vegas-style over-the-top, while their latest D&G Fall '09 ad, shot by Mario Testino, is regally grand. Everything is opulent - the luxurious carpet, the decadent bookshelves, the plush sofa. And check out the details on those clothes - stunning. But it's not a shocker, that's how D&G does it. What's your verdict? Are you impressed?

Fab Site: Swide.com

Dolce & Gabbana aren't just about the clothes. They're also into art, music, food, beauty, design, and travel. To express their love for fashion, among other things, the brand has launched an online magazine dubbed Swide. It boasts a gambit of topics like pop culture, food, celebrities, music, artists, and of course, fashion - some written by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana themselves! I'm already hooked on the style section, which features a fun must have section and inspirational moodboard. It's worth perusing, I promise.

Milan Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Dolce & Gabbana

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 04:00:22 -0700

Whatever the Dolce & Gabbana boys are doing, they should keep on doing, because they're setting the runways on fire. Maybe it's the dramatic clothes against the sleek black background, but the house's Spring collection commands attention. It's part sexy, part girlie, some forward, and all innovative. There's a lot going on, so bear with me. The first thing is the incorporation of silk pajamas in a streamlined way. Hugh Hefner would be proud! Silk pajama tops are tucked into tiny black shorts, big poufy floral skirts, and matching silk cropped trousers. Domenico and Stefano want us to change the way we look at sleepwear.On the sexy end of the spectrum, there are corset cropped tops, bustier-style skirt suits, and leg revealing shorts. For the fashion-forward, there's shoulder love; protruding shoulders are everywhere on dresses and cropped jackets. And as a grand finale, the designers sent down breathtaking gowns with rosettes cascading down from the bodice. These boys know what women want.

The Met's Costume Institute Gala: Scarlett Johansson

A newly engaged Scarlett Johansson left her fiance Ryan Reynolds behind and walked the red carpet with the Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. I love the idea of her dress - the corset bodice and tulle skirt - but I'm not sure it works on Scarlett. Thoughts?

Fergie in Dolce & Gabbana Spring '08: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Fergie looked like a model out of Dolce & Gabbana's Spring '08 ad campaign at her 33^rd birthday bash in Vegas. Or did she? I highly doubt Domenico and Stefano would want their pieces worn in such a clashing manner. Individually, I like all the pieces in her outfit - especially the diamond lace-up heels - but she should have either gone with classy or funky, not both. Do you love it or hate it?
