Devotion!

The genius Fashion Duo Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana
amazed us once again with their F/W13-14 Mens Collection, devoted to the “Devotion” itself!

The amazing Fashion Duo took a further step in showing their bond to the Italian roots and the passion about the Sicilian Culture, they revealed homage to their Catholic roots. It’s well known that Dolce&Gabbana always have the element of “Love” in its every work. But this time Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabban preferred to make the “Real Love” more visible.
Real Love… The Love for God!

On the 12of January, the first Dolce&Gabbana Runway Show of the year took place in Metropol, Milano, during the Milano Moda Uomo.

Presenting their F/W13-14 Mens Collection, Dolce&Gabbana, rocked the Runway, once again with Sicilian people chosen from the streets of Sicily by Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana themselves. People, brought together from different occupations and with different sizes and proportions, once again performed a brisk runway show.

The collection has a concept of “best clothes” that people prefer to wear at their visit to Church on Sundays. The “best clothes”, some pinned with nostalgic amulet-sequin, that are tailored by women for their husbands, by mothers for their children, using the most special fabrics kept in the chests. In respect to the inspiration, Devotion, Sicilians on the Runway with the diversity in fabrics and cuts of the pieces, were look like the people of society, form the wealthy landowner to the farmer, from the governor to the schoolboy, coming together in the Church. At the final of the Runway Show, Sicilan Boys wearing tees with Madonna prints and Men in balck suits, couloured with silk brocade scarfs, closed the runway under the harmonious sound of ringing bells, that completes the concept of the Show and the Collection.

The song chosen for the Runway show was the Nina Rota's La Strada (The Road), from the OST of the Fellini's movie with the same name, which was the film that won the inaugural Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. This choice also seems intentional to show the respect and the pride of the Designers to the Italian Culture.

The most significant thing about Dolce&Gabbana collections, especially the latest ones, is being thematic, iconic and identifiable. Every single piece has something to tell us about the inspirations of the genius designers. Besides being highly iconic, they are also timeless masterpieces that worth to took their places in wardrobes every season.

As the Devotion is the inspiration of the collection, Maddona prints and other religious designs embellishes
the over-sized tees and sweats.

Jeweled tops, white shirts with lace details, wide-sleeve tees, floral prints, velvets and cashmeres, black suits, lace dinner jackets and jackets with needlepoint floral decorations not only mesmerized the audience but also showed the flawless combination of designing and the tailoring skills of the Fashion Duo.

Tapered, relaxed trousers are also showing the collections devotion to tailoring and cut. On the Runway, almost every look was completed with matching shoes made from patent leather, washed suede and velvet. Needlepoint decorations on the shoes are also another eye-catching element of the collection.
