I thought I'd start off this Monday with something a little fancy and fresh...Dolce and Gabbana's Fall 2013 collection that is. Other than the reference to religion and the Byzantine being blatantly obvious, I thought I'd elaborate a little more on this collection and share with all you lovelies something different this morning. Designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana for their Fall 2013 collection have used the golden mosaics of Sicily's cathedral as a main focus point and have created a romanticised view of the Catholic Church. Dolce and Gabbana sent out, on the runway about a dozen dresses printed with Monreale's famous Byzantine and Venetian mosaics and just as many cardinal red lacy frocks. There was lots of heavily hand beaded garments and evening numbers with religious figures printed upon them. The main colour theme was clearly and obviously gold which is associated with with royalty and represents the colour of the heavens, however the other main re-occuring colours are red and blue.
The accessories include crowns, large detailed and religiously symbolic earrings, printed and embroidered clutches and heavily detailed and coiled eye wear, again suggesting a higher power.
The collection is definitely something different and unexpected but that in fact is what I love about it because it's something that will be remembered, so I've selected a few backstage images just to show you the beauty and detail that has gone into this amazing collection but also the time and effort that has been put into the styling.
