Dolce and Gabbana goes romantic for their 2016 summer collection

Italy is celebrated in Dolce and Gabbana’s 2016 summer collection. If there’s one brand that would know the ins and outs of Italian fashion, the best consideration to be put on top of the list would be this fashion house that originated in the beautiful city of Milan.

True to its roots, Dolce and Gabbana goes back to where it came from and decided to color the bright sunshine of summer with the punch of Italian style that utters distinction in pursuing the definition of what will be the hottest in the summer season of the coming year.

We can be sure that it is going to be about romance and everything that shouts flare, as the brand’s collection is all about vibrant colors and print designs.

The beautiful scenery found in the beauty of the Italian façade as translated through its architecture is one of the key elements of the collection.

Lazy dresses will never be as arresting as some of Italy’s famous edifices will be translated into designs treating the fabric, as if they are a canvas that will give life to a form of art that can be worn by ladies as they stroll around.

See summer in full bloom, as not only flowers but also scenery will dominate the A-game when it comes to sun dressing.

It’s going to be a modernized version of the 1940’s all at once, as sequins and accessories are also incorporated to announce the resonance and celebration of the sun and its warmth in a Sicilian way.

As we all know, Italy is the home of some of the best painters the world has ever met. In line with this reputation, another interesting part of Dolce and Gabbana’s summer collection will be garments designed with brush strokes.

The inspiration behind this must-try trend is the Italian artist Lucio Fontana that speaks a hint of the 1950’s due to its respect to the female body’s S-shape curve.

The unbeatable duo

Domenico Dolce e Stefano Gabbana

If there is one fashion label that has survived challenging times and came out victorious, it would be Dolce and Gabbana. A few years back, the Italian fashion house was sued for tax evasion for failing to file tax declaration but last quarter of last year the duo was cleared out and still continues to be one of the most respected fashion empires.

Domenico Dolce (born August 13, 1958, in Palermo) and Stefano Gabbana (born November 14, 1962, in Milan) met when they were working for the same fashion designer in Milan.

They held their first solo womenswear show in 1986, but it was not until Madonna endorsed one of their shirts a present from her then beau Warren Beatty in her movie Truth Or Dare: In Bed With Madonna, that they started to become known to a wider audience.

Slowly, the pair launched other product lines, including knitwear and accessories, and gained notoriety particularly for their sensual dresses and menswear, which won them the 1991 Woolmark Prize.

In the early 1990s, pop star Madonna selected them as her costume designers for her Girlie world tour, and wore one of their jewel-encrusted corsets to the Cannes Film Festival.

Throughout the ‘90s, the duo were famed for their overtly feminine, colourful garments, which stood in stark contrast to the wave of minimalism that was sweeping across fashion at the time.

“Dolce & Gabbana” is one of the wealthiest fashion houses in the world with an estimated net worth of $5.3 billion. Revenues from the women’s clothing and accessories section forms the backbone of the company’s income stream.

Even the men’s clothing line has shown a healthy revenue growth in the past few years. Domenico Dolce’s individual net worth has been put at $2.2 billion and Stefano Gabbana’s personal bank balance stands at $2.1 billion.
