Art meets Fashion

Discovering the Dolce & Gabbana Autumn Winter 2013-14 collection was like entering into a sanctuary of pure beauty… After showing you the shoes and bags on Friday, let me continue with some pieces from the collection itself… What could seems like a patchwork of printed colors from the runaway, was in reality an extremely meticulous and delicate work of beading and embroidery executed by the fingertips of expert seamstresses.

I cannot give you a precise estimation on how many hours of work are needed to complete one single piece of outfit, but I know from experience that it should definitely be counted in days if not weeks…

I really love it when designers are able to surprise you, seasons after seasons, without falling into the costume category… Obviously some of the pieces are not made to be worn on an everyday basis (and probably not on a weekend basis either ;-), but Stefano and Domenico managed to keep a certain simplicity in term of shapes and cuts which made the whole a very coherent and successful collection!

Well I guess there is only one thing left to say… Amen!
