Dolce & Gabbana’s latest summer collection drew inspiration from Italy’s 1950s golden era, epitomized by icons like Marcello Mastroianni. Designed for exclusive Italian seaside destinations such as the Amalfi Coast and Portofino, the collection emphasized summer ease and sophistication.
The collection featured off-white, dark green, burgundy tones, and “Sicily black,” creating a nostalgic yet fresh palette. Impeccably tailored pieces included summery striped polo shirts, sleeveless sweaters, and knitted waistcoats paired with amphora trousers, seamlessly merging classic and modern styles. Modernist additions included woven raffia jackets, shirts, and tunics in tan-and-black shades, extended to footwear and bags.
The collection also featured scalloped crocheted knitwear and leather weaves. Silhouettes were relaxed, with pleated trousers casually cuffed, boxy tops paired with shorter shorts, and bold diagonal stripes adding a nostalgic touch.
Materials like clean linens and suedes maintained the collection’s understated elegance, while bursts of coral beading and sequins added sparkle. Soothing combinations of eggplant and wine, and earthy forest green and olive tones added grit and strength to the nature-inspired palette.
The collection blended retro inspiration with modern sophistication, celebrating the relaxed yet glamorous lifestyle of the Italian Riviera, making it ideal for chic summer getaways. Dolce & Gabbana.
