It is that time of
the year! The September! January in Fashion!
The busiest time for
the world of fashion!
When Milano Moda
Donna starts every season, Dolce&Gabbana shows are being waited with
excitement as the genius fashion duo Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana know well how to amaze us not only with their talent and creativity by
creating better and more better collections every season but also with
reflecting all the inspiration to the runway, like telling a story.
The Intermezzo form the famous Cavalleria Rusticana is one of the most significant elements
of their shows. When you take your sit and get ready for the Dolce&Gabbana Fashion Show, you are first mesmerized with the impressive melody of
Intermezzo and conditioned to watch something spectacular. Intermezzo, for
sure, should be chosen intentionally as the Cavalleria Rusticana tells us a
story of which setting is Sicilia.
It was same on the
September 23rd!
Intermezzo was heard
at Metropol in Milan and Dolce&Gabbana Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion
Show started.
The music chosen and
mixed for the Runway were Meraviglioso (means “Wonderful” in Italian) by
Domenico Modugno and Vivire In Italia (mean “Living in Italy”) by Nino Monorni.
First one was telling how the life is beautiful and how many gifts are given to
mankind and the second one, without lyrics; give us the joy of Italy. Both were
so harmonious with the inspiration of the collection: Italy, Sicily and its
colorful culture. The army of models at the finale, walked with one of the most
famous Italian songs: Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volare) that also let the
audience to feel the Italian Culture at its best.
The prickly pear
cactuses were used to decorate the runway and the venue. This was also very
thematic as the prickly pears are one of the most iconic and recognizable
plants of the Mediterranean and there are plenty of them in Sicily.
And the collection!
The one and only
word that can be used to summarize all is the “Meraviglioso”!
Dolce&Gabbana Spring/Summer 2013 collection is a great reflection of the Sicilian
Culture. From the fabric chosen to the prints applied, the collection is a time
travel that takes us to a journey from the ancient times of pottery to the
Italian Renaissance and also visits the joyful post-war abundance periods.
Raffia, organza,
rough cotton, linen and brocade were used both in their most pure phase and
also with very well created prints and embroideries. Prints inspired from the
Pupi (traditional Sicilian Puppets), local barrows and peculiar wheels and
Moorish Head vases are varied with strips in a very brilliant way to remind the
sunny and salty Mediterranean beaches. Dresses and corset made out of straws
also are also very innovative and stirring. Coral embroideries are also one of
the most elegant elements of the collection.
Concept chosen for the Collection, which was well applied to the house’s Spring/Summer 2013 Menswear Collection is mainly based on the natural state and ease of the Mediterranean Culture yet it is very well flourished and processed to create masterpieces that are referring to streets but not in a shoddy way. With the artistic touch of the fashion duo, the values that are belong to the streets interpreted to bring out a candescent collection.
Styling and fittings
were also prosperous at the show. Instead of sorting the looks with the
materials and colors used, models demonstrated the collection in a well-blended
order that brought out an extra vivid show.
The main elements
like Pupi and barrow prints are also used at the Spring/Summer 2013 Menswear Collection of the Dolce&Gabbana. This also makes both collections more
adorable that can be results with harmonious couple looks, which makes the
collection more recognizable.
Dolce&Gabbana started to warm up the spirits for the spring and the summer from now,
and again took everyone to an Italian Tale that brings all the beauties of the
wonderful island of Sicily into light.
