Another important motif: strong shoulders. Here, a sheer-sleeve bustier look worn with leather gloves that have morphed into a hat and a clock-face necklace.

Symcox, Co-chair “Exporting Mrs. Consumer: The American Woman in Italian Culture, 1945-1975” examines the development and growth of a mass consumer-based society in Italy after the Second World War. Employing a gendered and transnational approach, the dissertation puts women at the center of the analysis by specifically focusing on American female consumer culture’s influence on Italian women’s lives from 1945-1975. This study, in contrast to existing literature on the topic, provides a more comprehensive understanding of the nature of the models and messages of American female consumer culture in Italy during this period, how they influenced Italian women, and the extent of this culture’s influence. Furthermore, the analysis of the intersection of the modern “American woman” (the white middle-class suburban American ii housewife), consumerism, and Italian female culture and identities provides new insight into the unique cultural relationship between the United States and Italy following the Second World War.

  • Dolce & Gabbana's Communication and Branding Analysis
    FACE Business Case Dolce & Gabbana’s Communication and Branding Analysis Il presente lavoro è stato redatto grazie al contributo degli studenti del corso di Laurea Magistrale in Fashion Communication: Cristiana Avolio, Federica Fancinelli, Valentina Foschi, Veronica Rimondi e Camilla Tosi 1 The work aims to analyze the communication strategies of Dolce&Gabbana, one of the most famous brands on a national and international level, that has been able to create, within a varied audience, a global strong recognition. The fashion company was founded in 1985 by two designers: Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. 1. Zeitgeist and social context The inspiration of the designers Stefano Dolce and Domenico Gabbana comes from Sicily and the post-war neo-realist filmography, a land of perfumes and mysteries, a precious treasure chest of memories from which derive motifs destined to characterize each new collection. Surely their point of strength and recognition, both in lingerie and tailoring, is the black lace, a symbol of rigor and feminine sensuality; in fact the woman of Dolce & Gabbana, in balance between the modest and uninhibited, embodies the woman of our time with a strong and fragile personality at the same time, a concrete woman but also a dreamer. Protagonists of the fashion shows and the advertising campaigns are often the icon of the typical Italian beauty as: Bianca Balti, Monica Bellucci, Maria Grazia Cucinotta and Bianca Brandolini d'Adda. The Mediterranean woman becomes the point of reference and the muse of the two designers who highlight her shapes and her strong personality. For example, the bustier, as a synonymous for excellence of femininity that women, of all ages, have always used to outline and emphasize their bodies, recurs frequently in the brand pictures.

    Dolce & Gabbana For release: Dec 4, 2018. Milan, Italy Contact: Alexandria Hawthorne Phone: (347)756-1655 DOLCE & GABBANA REPLACES MILLENNIALS WITH DRONES FOR FALL 2018 Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana will be launching their Fall collection on Dec 4, 2018 in Milan, Italy. Get ready to experience a different level of runway at Sala delle Cariatidi @ Palazzo Reale. This season, design duo Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana make a declaration of love to the industry with a Fall 2018 collection entitled Fashion Devotion. Catholic motifs are intrinsic to the Italian house, and for Fall 2018, Dolce and Gabbana is keen to give guests a deeper religious experience, with a show that will present fashion as a form of religion filled with ​angelic looks, sequined dresses with cherubs and mini-skirts with detailing that might as well have been taken from church ceilings, and bejewelled cross necklaces. Dolce & Gabbana’s identity is a mix of devotion, sheer creativity, religion, style and irony…The collection has it all, it’s an interesting play of contrasts. It pays tribute to pop culture icons, but also religion and the world of Catholicism. Dolce & Gabbana wants to celebrate their passion for fashion, which is their religion in a way. On the other hand, celebrate beauty, the ultimate “artifice” of fashion. Drones are the new angels of technology! This runway show is also meant as an homage to Dolce & Gabbana’s love for technology. ### Dolce & Gabbana was founded in 1985 by designers Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana in Milan. Five years before the launch of the legendary Italian label, the two designers met in a workshop in Venice where they joined creative forces.

  • Just the Two of Us
    Domenico Dolce, left, and Stefano Gabbana describe their chemistry as a meeting of opposites egendary songstress Dusty Springfield emerges from a glass mural, a portrait of a Madonna — the original — is splashed across the back of a chair, and a huge porcelain rooster evokes the spirit of Sicily. Entering the vast private salon of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana on the top floor of their global Lheadquarters on a grim autumn day in Milan is like stepping on to a catwalk at one of their famously flamboyant shows. There’s an explosion of colour and a chaotic blend of classic Italian tradition with their own cutting edge inspired by the 60s, 70s and plenty of other eras as well. The walls are covered in crimson brocade and there’s more than a hint of art deco but perhaps most surprising are the floor- to-ceiling bookshelves filled with tributes to rivals such as Ralph Lauren, Tom Ford and Christian Dior. Yet this brash remake of the corporate boardroom seems a perfect introduction to the style icons who created Dolce & Gabbana nearly 30 years ago. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are among the wealthiest men in Italy, cited in Forbes’ billionaire list of notable newcomers this year with a personal worth estimated at $US2 billion each ($2.1bn). Yet they enter the room without a flourish.

Launched four years ago by Stefano Gabbana, fifty-two, and his business partner of thirty years, Domenico Dolce, fifty-seven, “Alta Moda consists of one-of-a-kind, made-to-measure pieces: virtuoso demonstrations of what can be achieved sartorially when the imagination of a designer and the spending power of his patron are given unconstrained ex- pression,” Mead writes. Since Alta Moda’s inception, the fall/winter collection has been shown outside of Milan. This year, Dolce and Gabbana threw the most ambitious Alta Moda getaway yet: a four-day weekend of fashion shows, dinners, and other festivities, culmi- nating in a dance party with a dress code of gold. “These people live in another world,” Gabbana—whose personal wealth, like Dolce’s, is estimated by Forbes to be more than a billion dollars—tells Mead, regarding the Alta Moda clients. “I don’t live in that world.” He adds that he was sometimes surprised by the extravagances that the clients took for granted. “I live in an apartment, I have three dogs, two cats— you know what I mean.” The Alta Moda presentation consisted of a fashion show in which ninety-four models each wore just one cou- ture outfit, which could then be purchased—at a starting price of around forty thousand dollars—by the first customer to lay claim to it after the show ended.
