Dolce & Gabbana S/S 2011

Sicilian sensuality at Dolce & Gabbana. Italian designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana gave a nod to traditional Sicilian heritage of tailoring. This season they went back to their roots of classic Sicilian inspired pieces to celebrate the 20th anniversary of menswear for the label. With that idea they offered Sicilian inspired caps, fisherman sandals and a relaxed white workers shirt. There was also the classic pieces from the label such as a three piece suit available in white linen and structured black. Their trademark sensuality was evident in the knit pieces, tank tops and the distressed jeans. The simple color palette consisted of white, beige,sand and black. The look for the collection was all about being comfortable and relaxed.

The show was held at Milan's city hall, the Palazzo Marino with a simple draped backdrop. Music was live from Scottish recording artist Annie Lennox who sang her pop hit, “There Must Be An Angel.” French model Adam Senn opened the show in a classic Dolce & Gabbana tailored white suit. The whole idea for the collection was comfort and obvious in the muslin cotton, washed silk and interwoven jute shirts and sweaters. Every piece in the collection was very light and perfect pieces for the next summer season.

Admired pieces in the collection were the extra light silk sweaters that looked amazing and comfortable. The interwoven leather bags were also remarkable and inspired by the farmers in the South of Italy.

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana went back to their humble roots of Sicilian traditional tailoring and put a modern twist on it. This collection was incredibly comfortable and relaxing. The Dolce & Gabbana man is carefree and ready to relax this next Spring and Summer season. -Brent Billiman, Milan, Italy.
