And from the videos that the high fashion house has released on the net, as well as the direct Instagram of the show, they have been an explosion of colors. Here are the secrets of this new collection, told by us, who admire the creativity of these two great Italian stylists.
Sicilian patchwork, colorful and stylish dresses
It was they who explained the new collection, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, through the official social channels. In a short video rich in images of Sicily, the reason for the title of the collection and the high meaning it represents for them is explained. "We have decided to dedicate the Spring Summer 2021 season to Sicily - explain -. And calling it Patchwork of Sicily. Because we wanted to tell about our long experience drawing and exploring Sicily and everything that can be found on an island like this".
A wish then for theto enhance an ancient technique that of Patchwork precisely. "And that young people - add the two stylists - can treasure this type of art, things made by hand. For example, cut all the pieces, sew them, take the fabrics from the house, buy new ones. A cultural approach bringing together various types of cultures to make a garment one of a kind".
Fabrics and embroideries, but also a precise setting
And all the scenography conceived for this great fashion show was the outline of this glamorous and highly anticipated event in the Milan fashion week. Because the collection presented at the Metropol in Milan is a new declaration of love by the two designers to Sicily. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have dug in their archives, among fabrics, prints, embroideries and applications that have been rethought and mixed to give life to unique masterpieces. The patchwork technique thus gives color, among a mixture of majolica, of the typical colors of ceramics, designs that express the beauty and grandeur of the brand.
Dolce and Gabbana's bond with Sicily
And so the colors and features that have often been at the center of the past collections of the two designers return. How can we forget the homage to Sicily and the Sicilian cart a few years ago, but also the choice to sponsor some places and monuments dell'Isola in the collection of shoes and bags.
Traditions, landscapes, flavors and unique colors that once again form a strong bond and which have now become a recognizable brand in their garments. Dolce and Gabbana this summer were chosen by the Sicilian Region to promote the culture of the island. Through unique evenings in some Sicilian squares where the film was presented Devotion which tells their story in fashion, on the notes of Morricone. And then the choice of a Sicilian photographer, Except Alibrio to sign the shots of last year's women's collection shot during the religious holidays of some Sicilian cities. A bond that once again confirms a passion for the Sicilian land, its colors and flavors.
