@scdoratli's style picks: Prickly Pears of Sicilia warmed up Milano! Dolce&Gabbana SS13 Men's Fashion Show

On June 23, the first day of Milano Moda Uomo, Dolce&Gabbana rocked the city with the SS13 Men's Fashion Show.

The main inspirations of the collection are simplicity and natural beauty. As Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana influenced and inspired from the cultural opulence of the Sicily, they put too many characteristics of the island together to create a collection that is full of comfortable yet tidy looks.

The inspiration of the collection is beyond objects or eras. It is “the culture” itself. That’s because from the fabrics chosen to the forms and prints, the collection is a revised interpretation of the Sicilian Culture.

Stripes, and the high wasited cropped trousers are the most remarkable elements of the collection that reflects the devotion of the Sicilian Culture to the seas. Comfortable and loose forms also used in a very refined way in order to create easy-to-wear, not exaggerated at all yet chic pieces. Colorful Pupi (traditional puppets) prints and thick stripes heated the collection while referring to the vivid side of the Sicilian Culture. The looks are completed mostly with very well designed sandals that are already became objects of desire.

Dolce&Gabbana Fashion Shows are always exceptional as they are beyond demonstrations of collections but literally "show". Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana always amaze the audience with their genius.

As the inspiration of the collection was the culture itself, Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana, to show their appreciation to the people that create the culture, preferred real people from the streets instead of professional models. 75 authentic Sicilian from different occupations, chosen by the fashion duo, rocked the runway and exposed the inspiration of the collection in the best possible way. The diversity of the heights, ages and the proportions of the models incredibly increased the vivacity of the show while live traditional Sicilian music added joy.

From the collection to the show, Dolce&Gabbana gave a very impressive start to the Spring/Summer 2013 season and Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana proved once more that they deserve to be distinguished.
