Simply Abu Dhabi Magazine XVII

1 6 7 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I Elsewhere throughout the collection are ponchos covered in carnations and fringe, ornate trophy belts, polka dot patterns on flamenco skirts and dresses, crisp white shirts and embroidered denim. The Sacred Heart is the main symbol of the collection, and is found stitched or printed on most of the pieces. On a very sweet note, the choice of the carnation was made not only because it is a flower that recalls the Spanish tradition, but also as an homage to Mr. Dolce’s mum, as it was her favourite flower. The collection is, as ever, tailored with breathtaking precision, and whilst theatrical, the baroque flourishes are counter-balanced by a rigorous construction. D&G clothes always have an element of great drama and costume, but never forget that underneath it all, these two gentlemen are masters of their craft.
