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.
