  • 4 years ago
The SS21 Fashion show takes inspiration from design and the Italian architecture of the 60s as per in the Parco dei Principi Hotel

Key words are Architecture and Italian genius.

The Architecture mode of shapes, volumes and contrasts. The entire Fashion show is built following architectural criteria with very precise and clear proportions.

The architecture, art and sculpture and the handcraft are reinvented in sartorial pieces, presented in a mix of unusual volumes and special construction styles.

The palette made of white and blue with touches of gold takes inspiration from the chandeliers and the armchairs;

the shade of marron and the colour rope are inspired by the colour of the wood and the handmade straw chairs in the Hotel.

The main character is the sea, the light blue of the tiles which embellish the spaces, mixed with the while linen canvases, nylon and with the natural materials in the shades of the blue Mediterranean sea.

Aesthetics of an incredible charm, sophisticated in the colours and shapes.

Simplicity and purity which reinterpret and honour the Italian design genius and its creativity, visible in pieces of incredible freshness and harmony of proportions.

The construction of the majority of the pieces are juxtaposed in a very precise and current way

Essential codes are:
Multi materials, oversize volumes.

Multi materials, overlapping and juxtaposed shapes with oversize volumes are balanced by expert tailoring skills

Formal suit jackets with back inserts of knitwear, trousers in multi materials, outside piences become jacket’s main characters

The shirt and the jacket, formal and timeless pieces of a man’s wardrobe, are reinvented following new inspirations;

structured shirts in poplin cotton which blends and talks with the iconic “maiolica“ print here presented in a blue geometrical version.

Each shape, each outfit is in harmony and reflects the inspiration. A fashion show which talks about elegance, personality staying true to the brand distinctive traits once again here reinvented.

The new Dolce&Gabbana man pays homage to art, sculpture, art of ceramics, architecture, design and craftsmanship with a new and contemporary spirit.

Between 1960 and 1962 Gio Ponti created a series of blue and white ceramic tiles for the Hotel Parco dei Principi in Sorrento, a splendid precursor of today's design hotels.
