Dolce and Gabbana Spring/Summer 2013
Sicily,
its heritage and culture are never far from the minds of Domenico Dolce and
Stefano Gabbana. Over the years the designers have looked to the Sicilian way
of life countless times for inspiration, whether it is recreating the ethos of
Visconti films on the runway, or putting Monica Belluci’s innate sensuality to
good use in advertising campaigns, interpretations of all things Sicily are
ingrained into the Dolce iconography. Spring finds the designers revisiting
their failsafe source material, but offering a new twist, one filled with
bright color and a vibrant selection of prints culled from traditional
ceramics.
This was a collection defined by its details, particularly the idiosyncratic
ones. Vases, frescos and other Catlagirone art history references found their
way onto the body via nipped-waist dresses and skirts, while graphic stripes
appeared on jackets and jumpsuits seemingly cut to resemble vintage bathing
costumes. In a humorous turn, barely there mini-dresses bore logos and fringed
details informed by sacks of doppio zero flour, a deliberately outlandish touch
and one that should land those dresses in every s/s editorial.
There was something kitschy about the whole affair, but not in a way that
was unpleasant. The Dolce woman has always been passionate and sensual, but
this season’s offbeat flair moves their heroine into fresh territory; she’s
still a siren, but she’s good for a laugh or two as long as she’s in on the
joke. Naysayers may find the explosive combination of print, pattern, glitter,
glitz and glamour all too much, but they’re forgetting the golden rule, finchè
c’è vita c’è speranza – where there’s life, there is hope.
There was plenty of
life on the runway, especially during the finale; all the stops were pulled
out, not an inch of tulle was spared. The framed corsets on Zuzanna Bijoch and
Bette Franke, were the kind of sumptuously decadent pieces that exist only on
catwalks and in museums. It is hard to imagine a woman wearing the exaggerated
proportions, or delicately boned corsets in real life, but perhaps that was the
point. The D&G re-imagining of Sicily
is a fashion fantasy.
Here is the BIG Show!
