Dolce & Gabbana Men’s Fall/Winter 2009 Review

Inspiration

With the Fall/Winter 2009/2010 men’s collection, Dolce & Gabbana goes back to the origins of the brand with a black and white portrait of Sicily, revisiting all the hues from Baroque to Neorealism to aristocracy. There’s a willingness and need for profound and binding ties. This is reflected in a renewed interest towards traditional values and craftsmanship; giving a ritual meaning to the act of hand-making. Symbol of this particular and new mood, the hand-intertwined finale jackets stand for a deeper link between men and their own roots, their own land and family. Fabrics and Materials
