Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2014

Dolce & Gabbana create dazzling fashions that are filled with expert couture craftsmanship and enormous creativity. This collection is no exception to that fact. At first glance some of the gold skirts and dresses LOOK to be tooled leather, however Stefano Gabbana was quoted saying, “Women hate wearing leather and PVC, so we’ve made them in lacquered silk that looks like patent.” This is just one example in a sea of details that demonstrates the attention that Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana commit to each of their collections. Lacquered silk? OMGee. The previous seasons palette made its way into Spring but it’s a beautiful palette worthy of repeating. Red is the new neutral after all and it pairs so well with blacks and golds. Their use of patterns that allude to Italian history is so artful. I am crazy for the coin purses and big coin jewelry. Love the 3 dimensional florals. They also infused the collection with fresh spring greens and bits of blue that provided contrast and interest. Overall it’s artistic dynamite.
