Dolce & Gabanna: Fashion house's best-loved pieces are a contemporary take on forever classics
For over three decades now, the iconic duo Dolce & Gabanna have been harnessing classic Italian glamour into their designs to produce 'buy now, love forever' pieces that have fashion lovers going gaga. The house's staple animal prints, feminine florals and delicate embellishment form the silhouettes of all their collections and boast of its origin. These designs not only manifest themselves in ready-to-wear-pieces but also in accessories, which resonate with the awe-inspiring archival pieces from the brand's Sicilian heritage.
The Dolce & Gabanna Spring/Summer 2020 Menswear collection is a revival of such brand classics as loose armed silk shirts, high-waisted trousers, two top-cut pocketed leather jackets sporting animal prints including the trademark leopard, placed directly opposite tiger stripes. Also featured are tropical fruit and foliage prints, giving the silhouette a Hawaiian touch and varied renditions of a painted pin-up.
The theme of the 'Sicilian Tropical' is predominant in the collection, a seamless amalgamation of the Baroque Sicilian with the '50s tropical motif. It is a blend of colorful prints combined perfectly with the Khaki color. The Dolce & Gabanna man is the protagonist, adorned in the covetable special pairings, elegant fabrics, sophisticated detail and contemporary style that highlights his impeccable physique.
