Dolce E Gabbana are a legend. I mean, seriously, who hasn’t heard of them? (If you haven’t, please continue reading. You owe it to your sense of style). What’s even more amazing about them is that they used to be a couple; just picture that! Fashion created by the power of love (and not any kind of love, the Italian kind of thing). They recently broke up, like 7 years ago or something. I was like: “Wow! If Dolce e Gabbana didn’t make it, what chance do I have with anybody?” But oh well, you know what they say: seasons change and people change no matter what you believe. Like Buddhism teaches us: nothing ever remains the same, not the good things, not the bad things. Pure impermanence.

| 1) Look A |
We can say the same thing about fashion, right?
There are so many things we might not like about a season or a collection, but
we can always give it some time and voilà! New tendencies, new shapes, new textures…
But we have to be open to see the change here. Imagine how it would be if you
get mad to a designer just because the last collection was, according to you, a
complete mess? What if you decided then that you didn’t want anything else from
that label? And what if next season was absolutely amazing and you missed it
because of your little drama?
Girls (and boys, if any), fashion is life:
constant changes, lots of tragedies, lots of joys, lots of rage, lots of
pleasure; it’s a matter of who you are and how you wear it (or live it). I
strongly believe a true fashionista can turn any outfit into a runway look, as
I believe a really successful person can make it with almost nothing.
Almost nothing? Certainly not Dolce e Gabbana!!! They created the adjective “massimalismo”, which would be the
antonym of “minimalism”. So? So that means they believe more is better; hard to
believe, right? It’s even harder when we hear everywhere that we have to keep it
simple. But wait! Don’t go and hang everything on you as if you were a Christmas
tree! You have to do it like the pro’s, and I’m going to show you how. Here,
from the Spring-Summer 2013 Dolce e Gabbana collection presented in Milan's Fashion Week,
my Top Three:

| 2) Look B |
1) Look A. The dress!!!! It screams “SUMMER” so loud it
makes me feel sad we haven’t even gotten to winter! And look at those earrings,
for goodness sake! They are one of a kind. Remember, long earrings help your
face look “longer” (not in a “long face” sense), so wear them if your face is
really round or sort of squared, they will really help you out. Also, it’s
recommendable to tie your hair when wearing them, just so they can be
appreciated. The high-cut helps dissimulate the tummy and the openness of the
sleeves and the skirt make the model’s extremities look thinner. No mention the
girly and naïve touch they add to your walking. I’d say the fabric is silk,
which helps a lot to the movement. Square cleavages make you look wider, so
wear them only if your shoulders are small and your back and breast are petit. The
brightness of the colors matches any type of skin, and the patterns are put in
a way they don’t cause any distasteful visual effect. Pretty, really pretty.

2) Look B. Mamma mía! It screams Italia. The pattern on
the blouse is strong but it’s ok because it isn’t all over it, it leaves some
clean space to equilibrate the whole thing. It reminds me of some festive
bright kind of baroque. Those sleeves are one of the best choices, because our
arms look tinnier and longer. See the neckline? It’s completely straight, and
it’s a great choice for anybody. It makes our necks look longer. The high-waist shorts are
excellent, because even though the piece is short, the high-waist makes it look
like it ends up at a reasonable height, plus it makes our hips look wider,
our waist look smaller and our legs look longer. Again, openness; they almost
look like a skirt, don’t they? Just looking at the outfit makes me feel the
summer breeze already. I love it. I just love it. Do you need more reasons? I
don’t, I just love it.
3) Look C. Massimalismo!
Now, this is what I was talking about. Look at all the details on the skirt!
Again, they add a playful movement to your walking. And those colors? They
cheer anyone up. I like the fact that this outfit has texture, because, it’s
even more unique. Not anyone dares to wear such bold clothing. This is the kind
of skirt that ends up wearing you if you don’t have the right attitude. The
blouse is cute but “simple” (yes, simple even with all those golden flowers all
over it). What makes me call it simple? The colors. They belong to the same
gamut. It’s a perfectly fine choice to match this skirt. Anything more complex
would totally turn your outfit from "Wow!" To "Ouch!". And have you seen the earrings, I
love those earrings. Bold, like everything Dolce E Gabbana do.
As we have seen, Dolce E Gabbana design for
strong, secure women. It requires a truly bright character to not be outshined
by those clothes. Remember, clothing is supposed to magnify your light, not dim
it.
OMG! This next season is going to be mind
blowing. We’ve seen so little designers so far and I’ve loved all of them!
Beautiful garments make my day, I swear.
Wow, I’m a pro-simplicity, but D and G are
starting to change my mind. What about you?
Have a wonderful day, crazy diamonds! Remember
to always shine all over and dream on! Life was meant to be beautiful. See you
soon! Lotta love.
