DSQUARED²: WE LOVE MUD!

DeanDanSbury, in other words an invented world created by Dean and Dan Dsquared² for the launch of their Woman Summer Collection 2012.

It was the first fashion show of a sunny Monday in Milan(the 26th of Sept.), and has surely managed to open the 6th day of the FashionWeek generating surprise and excitement of the invited.
On an unidilliac catwalk made of mud puddles and water, the two Canadian designers have created a rocker chic and boho-hippy atmosphere(as they themselves named it), where bright and colourful rainboots(with heels, sure!) were unquestionably the main protagonists. The challenge was very tough, since fringes has appeared as if by magic in almost every garment: from waistcoats to jackets, trousers and MONITOBA, the new it-bag Dsquared².

The fabrics chosen were flattering and very feminine, although leather was chosen for most of the jackets. A very large use of deep and intense colours.
However, we have also seen some prints, and in particular the American Flag. With a hint of reference to their collegues Dolce&Gabbana that for the winter collection used stars as their main theme, Dean and Dan have inserted the blue red and white of the American flag in almost every look; in scarfs especially.

Of relevant importance is also the abundant use of precious stones, that enriched dresses and shorts, tops and bracelets.

Orange, yellow, purple, torquoise blue and grass green the main colours of the season for Dsquared, always sparkling and joyful.
But not only the ones normally associated with the Spring or Summer;in facts also the brown of mud has been used, that appeared on jeans covering models' legs from the knees up to the ankles.

The loud music of Lady Gaga and U2, together with male and female models shouting have exaggerated (as of this word could ever be used in fashion, ndr.) the funky-muddy-rock scene. With great results.

DOLCE & GABBANA. SUMMER 2012.

 

The first thing that came in everybody's mind by seeing the setting of DOLCE & GABBANA summer fashion show is a FAIR. 

The fashion show, taking place at 2 pm in Milan, have had a great impulse of originality, which is a constant element of the two Italian stylists, by using  lights and creating a stunning athmosphere, where the dominant theme was that of a fair, with thousands of colourful lightbulbs covering the roof and creating delicious shapes. 

Among the stars attending the fashion show, Anna Dello Russo in a gorgeous golden dress and wearing huge golden cherries on the top of her head; the italian actress and showgirl Martina Stella, in an elegant black dress; and a breathtaking Scarlett Johanson in a simple but comtemporary silver dress, that captured the attention of all the photographers. Not to forget that Miss Johanson is the current testimonial of the make-up branch of the firm. 

For the first half of the show, we've seen a spread of colours and prints very faithful the winter collection, but with a new impulse and force never seen before. 

From fruit to vegetables, from flowers to onions, these are the most powerful objects used for the prints: even the most improbable vegetables have been used, such as courgettes, aubergines, red peppers and onions, all mixed with very bright bags and purses. 

The second half of the show has been dominated by jewels and in particular precious stones of thousand colours, basically mixed with black fabrics and, once again, lace. 

A lot of feminine dresses but also separates, with shorts and high heels. 

Also the choice of the jewellery was very original, with seashells as earings and in particular pasta, that has managed to make the collection very young and wearable. 

A very work of art!
