Dolce and Gabbana positioned at their 2010 Spring/Summer show


When Dolce and Gabbana positioned bloggers in the front row at their 2010 Spring/Summer show, they signalled the arrival on the scene of a new set of fashion industry power-brokers.

Given prime position amongst this new elite was Scott Schuman of TheSartorialist.com, whose modus operandi is to photograph people on the street who display a unique sense of style and post the pictures on his blog.

Alongside Schuman were fellow bloggers Garance Dore of garancedore.fr, Tommy Ton of jakandjil.com and Bryan Boy of bryanboy.com.

Despite the flattery, Schuman is skeptical.

"It was very nice Dolce & Gabbana put me, Garance and Bryan Boy and Tommy in the front row of their last show but they put these computers in front of us and made a big deal about it, like we were an athlete or something," Schuman said in Sydney recently where he was launching his new book, The Sartorialist.

"And so even though I think it was very nice I totally think it was just a media ploy for them to try and say, 'we believe in blogs now'.

"But you know what, I will believe it if they still have three or four independent bloggers in the front row for the next three or four seasons.

"Then I will say, 'Okay, they really are into it and they really believe it', but if it's just one season and they are not there next season it was totally just a marketing ploy."

Being orchestrated as a player in the fashion industry's broader schemes was not a situation Schuman envisioned when TheSartorialist.com debuted in September 2005.

Yet luxury brands looking to maintain their relevance among the digital generation have turned to bloggers - one-time fashion fringe dwellers - and quickly placed them centre stage.

In this scheme, Schuman is pure gold.

He is a digital darling whose site attracts 100,000 visitors a day eager to see who his lens has captured.

Subjects have included a kaleidoscope of individuals celebrated for their individualism, from Vogue Nippon fashion director at large Anna Dello Russo to a Sydney burlesque performer.

Ranked by Time Magazine as one of the Top 100 Design Influencers, Schuman has turned the street into a unofficial red carpet.

The new-found love affair of luxury brands with bloggers doesn't stop at the front row - designers are now also enlisting their talents to shoot essential advertising campaigns.

Such is Schuman's clout that big brands have commissioned him to capture a new interpretation of their products, including 'The Sartorialist for Burberry's The Art of the Trench' which involved shooting 100 street portraits. Earlier in 2009 following Australian Fashion Week he also shot the Melbourne based SABA campaign. There is also an upcoming collaboration with Calvin Klein for whom he will create a capsule collection of jeans and casual wear with The Sartorialist's signature style.

"If blogs had any real influence, or if my blog has really had any influence, its been having these bigger brands using real people and then accepting that you don't always have to project the image head-to-toe of Burberry or SABA to be able to get the point across," he says.

"You can show how your clothes work into a real person's real wardrobe and that the image doesn't always have to be head-to-toe something brand new.

"So that part I think it has maybe influenced a little bit that they are saying, 'okay to be realistic we can have images of our clothes mixed with somebody else's clothes', and it still looks good and it still gets the idea across.

"It was really great (that Burberry) gave me total freedom, I could shoot who I wanted and the edit is all mine.

"That's why I put those shots up on my blog - because I was really proud of the work and I was proud that they gave me such free-rein.

Then off course there is Schuman's new book which he has been promoting around the world since September.

"As a photographer I always wanted to have a book and a lot of people have asked 'why did you do a book?'

"But a lot of those images I've never printed and I've never actually held those pictures in my hands. So that was really nice to be able to have something to hold and to lay out in a different way.

"I am able to curate my own photographs in that book and to do so that was something I couldn't really do with the blog."

Dolce and Gabbana Brand Sunglasses


The Dolce and Gabbana brand and sunglasses are designed by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. Their eyewear and fashionable items are known for their modern use of color and contemporary design.  The other products and fashion items they design are; clothes, handbags, watches and even mobile phones.
Dolce & Gabbana has two main product lines, one known as: Dolce and Gabbana which is mainly luxurious items. This line is apparently more formal and looks at long-term trends rather than regular seasonal changes. The other line is known as D&G, which is more flashy or young trendsetting brand.
Dolce and Gabbana have the designer tag and are made in Italy.  They are found in high end department stores around the globe and have store in Milan.
The brand name has gone from strength to strength and known worldwide.
But, it hasn't always been a easy ride for Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, as there has been a couple of advertising campaigns that have been labelled sexist and  degrading to women. There is also alleged tax evasion from the Italian government, which got the pair and company a lot of media exposure.
All that talk aside, the Dolce and Gabbana fashion  brand, states both sophistication and style and the sunglass collections are carefully crafted of high quality materials. Such as one model of eyewear, offers high durability titanium materials in the frame for a signature look.
The Dolce & Gabbana glasses are a high end design. Hollywood celebrities, rock stars and well known sportsman all over the world wear them. Brad Pitt has been spotted in his the Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses and they do look pretty cool, although is that Brad or the eyewear making them look good?
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have turned the idea of wearing dark glasses into something chic and pleasurable.  Dolce and Gabbana glasses are among the most up-to-the-minute eyewear available anywhere. For the fashion conscious these sunglasses will leave just the right concept.

Why Women's Designer Jeans are a Cut Above the Rest

We all know that designer jeans don't come cheap. Premium denim brands such as Seven For All Mankind, Rock & Republic, True Religion, Dolce & Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli and many others can cost anywhere from $200-$800. But yet there are plenty of us who are willing to shell out our hard earned cash for such extravagant purchases. So why are they so expensive? Let's take a look at women's designer jeans and why they're a cut above the rest.
FIT
An important feature that differentiates high end denim from generic denim is the way they fit. Made to lift, slenderize, flatter and contour in all the right places, they mold to your body and create a flattering silhouette. Different labels tend to be better at doing certain things, such as emphasizing your rear or slimming your thighs, so you will want to shop around a bit. Once you have found the brand that compliments your body shape, it will give you a new level of confidence and you'll be coming back for more!
QUALITY
A lot of time and effort goes into making these jeans and they go through a lengthy manufacturing process before hitting the boutiques. Thus, the craftsmanship will be reflected in the price. Compare a pair of regular jeans to a designer pair and you will see the difference in quality and feel. The fabric of higher end brands are made from the finest denim textiles milled in Japan or Italy which give them a super soft, sleek and sexy feel. The stitching is skillfully done with straighter seams and all buttons, rivets and hardware are top of the line.
STYLE
A large portion of what you are paying for goes into the detailed styling of high end denim. Specific washes and designs are meticulously put together and at a glance, you can see that the color and cut is far more superior than those of their less expensive counterparts. Pricier jeans are often hand processed and they are literally stonewashed one pair at a time. Additionally, the fade or "wash" of the jeans will also affect the look and price of them. Washes are great because once you find a style you love, you can just duplicate it in different washes and this will add more variety to your wardrobe.
DURABILITY
Cheaper brands are often made with excess stretch in the fabric and this is what causes them to lose their shape after a few washes and wears. Women's designer jeans, on the other hand, are made from finer and sturdier materials with tighter weaving incorporated into the fabric. The seams are intricately stitched together with more care and attention. Due to the nature of the securely woven fabric, they are able to resist wear and stand up to repeated washings.
So while the price of women's designer jeans may be substantially inflated, you are paying for that extra bit of workmanship that keeps the seams from splitting, the more robust material that will resist wearing down the threads and the perfect, body molding fit. Consider it an investment rather than a frivolous purchase. You'll look great and your butt will thank you for it!

Blake Lively in Dolce & Gabbana


New Look of the Day - Blake Lively in Dolce & Gabbana It's freezing in New York right now, with temperatures leveling at just below freezing, but that didn't keep Blake Lively from baring almost everything at the premiere of Sherlock Holmes last night at Lincoln Center.

Lively sizzled in a strapless minidress by Dolce & Gabbana, showing off her curves in little more than a bustier and a thin lace veil over the very tops of her thighs. Yes, you can see her panties. Not even the runway version was quite so revealing...but the streets are starting to look more scandalous than the catwalks.

Blake accessorized with a pair of pointy-toed Louboutins, gigantic diamond earrings, and masses of those enviable curls.

Dolce & Gabbana Unveils Madison Avenue Flagship

To the delight of eager shoppers, Dolce & Gabbana opened the doors to its new flagship store in New York on Monday.
The Sicilian design duo collaborated once again with architect David Chipperfield to create the largest Dolce & Gabbana store in the world - a 10,000-square-foot, three-story space, housed within a landmark building at 825 Madison Avenue.
The new space aims to create "an environment where [clients] feel they can indulge in their fantasies ... the ultimate experience of comfort and luxury," the designers explained.
To reflect that luxe feel, sleek dark gray basaltina stone floors are set off by teak features and wooden cabinets, zebra skin rugs and baroque chairs.
The ground floor features men's clothes, the second is dedicated to women's fashion and accessories, and die-hard fans will be able to get their hands on collection pieces on the third floor, where a VIP salon is also located.
This is the third directly-owned U.S. store for Dolce & Gabbana, and the company plans to open another one in Las Vegas this fall.
There are no immediate plans for further U.S. expansion, according to Gabriella Forte, who was brought on board as president of Dolce & Gabbana USA and director of worldwide licenses and accessories just last month.
Internationally, shops in Tokyo, Osaka and Paris are scheduled to open in July.
Buoyed by a loyal celebrity following that includes Madonna, Gwen Stefani and J.Lo, Dolce & Gabbana racked up sales of $210 million in 2000.

Popular Children's Designer Clothing Brands

It is no longer just adults that want a closet full of designer clothes but the kids want in on the action to. Often parents also feel that if they are going to wear designer clothes then their kids should be able to as well. It did not take fashion designers long to figure this all out and they have jumped on the bandwagon to cater to these children. When it comes to denim jeans designers like 7 for all Mankind, True Religion, Paige Denim, Rock & Republic, Paper Denim & Cloth, and Diesel have all designed some winning jeans for kids that are available at Nordstrom's and Life Size.
Burberry, Little Marc, Juicy Couture, Tory Burch, J Crews Crew cuts, Dolce & Gabbana, and American Apparel have all jumped right aboard catering to the very same children of the parents who have already retained the customer relationship. A very popular TV series on VH1 called the The Famous Life of Celebrity Kids showed the kids sporting around in Crib Rock Couture, after all these are the clothes that famous couples like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's kids wear. If you are looking for the absolute coolest in socks, gloves, tights, flip flops, pajamas, and stuff like that the rocking place to head is to a store that carries designer brand Little Mismatched. They cater to both adults and kids but offer the funkiest in designs.
Glamajama is another hot topic for kids, babies, adults, and even pets. This line is available at Nordstrom's and Barney's and is sizzling as many of the Hollywood moms shop there too. The great things about these clothes are that they can not be found in most malls which are what makes them so unique and sought after. Less expensive designer brands such as Baby Phat, Roca Wear, Polo, and Apple Bottoms are more common designer brands that most are familiar with and are more readily available. These are designer brands that are available more so at your local malls but are still classified as designer brands.
If you were to walk through a typical American classroom you might find that exclusive designer brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Juicy Couture, True Religion and Seven for All Mankind are not the typical brands worn. It is much more likely that you would encounter such designer brands like Apple Bottoms and Nike. Many kids feel as if they have the ability to purchase these types of designer brand clothing that they will become more popular. Because of this designers have hit the kids market hard and some have even gone as far as to drop their prices so they can broaden their market.
Once the issue of middle school comes up you will find that clothes have a direct correlation with social status. You will likely find this target market draped in American Eagle, Abercrombie & Fitch and Aeropostale. Yet you will find the highest rankings in designer brands such as Chanel or Louis Vuitton.

Dolce & Gabbana The One Perfume Review

At first I wasn't terribly impressed with Dolce & Gabbana The One, but it really grew on me the more I got accustomed to its intricate lace work of notes that are woven into one glorious perfume. This is simple yet complex at the same time, an eclipse of scents, the bottom layer being a rich plum with it's velvety aroma enveloping wearer's skin in a blanket of warmth and sparkling golden amber and tantalizing mix of vanilla and musk shining though the warm base, give it that addictive kick that makes me want to smell my wrists all day long.

The fruits are slightly muted here, this scent is no fruit salad, and it's perfect for any time of the year or any occasion. It's actually great for cloudy a Monday morning to brighten up anyone's day. Like a cashmere sweater this wraps me in warm, cozy, luxurious but still updated aroma of a modern oriental scent. I can see why this is called The One, it really smells like perfection for those who like the warm and heady scents but it's really wearable and light enough to be enjoyed by a wide range or tastes.

Overall I think I ended up actually really liking Dolce & Gabbana The One and am glad it grew on me. At first you may not like it, but after a while it grows on you and you can't help but want to wear it all the time! I would suggest this scent for anyone who likes a light, but good smell.

Dolce & Gabbana's Regain to Classic

What makes Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana finally give up the mirror effect of stretching stations and theater lighting, opting instead for plain background and the people's release methods? What makes them give up the dresses surrounded by the gorgeous curtain call, as well as the previous two quarters dramatic shoulder-shaped profile? The two designers explain in the background that they listen to the recommendations of the audience. "Finally, we found what women want is the really sexy stuff." Gabbana said.

Exaggerated heels are missing. Not practical headgear disappeared. Those who exist only for large fashion design, along with the evening dress and completely ceased to exist. Bid farewell to the fashion-oriented theme of excessive, Dolce & Gabbana embark on journey back to Sicily. It is better said that they picked follows in their late years in stead of much irresponsible escape. What the audiences see is that the familiar but reviving feeling of things: sophisticated all-black suit, fine lace, displaying the charm of women's curves and tight-fitting corset dress. All along, these are Dolce & Gabbana's flagship products.

This season, they in turn to meet in line with the trend in Milan: jackets with shorts, underwear exposed. Why did not this change occurred in the rapid deterioration of the economic situation a year ago, but after one year occurred in the present? However, the good news is not too late. When a group of models wearing a bra appears in the center show, everything appears to be particularly friendly to people. Dolce & Gabbana's return is a welcomed by all.

I like fashion very much, thus I'd like to share all the fashion news that I know with everyone. I'm now doing my own business. We have a UGG Boots sale online. Classic Tall Boots are hot this month. For a huge selection, you can visit our website.

History of D&G Watches

There are some brands that become the reflection of your personality. You do not only buy these brands because they fulfill your needs or wants but you buy them because you can project your own image in these brands i.e. you present yourself through them.

Dolce & Gabbana (D&G) also fall in the category of those brands that people can relate to their personalities. D&G is famous for its luxury garments and accessories. D&G watches are one such line of spectacular accessories offered by Dolce & Gabbana.

The history of D&G watches started in the year 2000, when it launched new line of watches -- D&G Time watches in Italy and Europe. D&G Time watches were produced and distributed by Binda International.

Chronographic round dial with three sub dials, for minutes, seconds and stopwatch, was another exclusive addition in line of D&G watches. Chronographic, along with Time, form the two major types of watches, offered by Dolce and Gabbana.

The D&G collection added a touch of fun and sexiness in the watches along with sophistication. The watch making industry was revolutionized with this initiative of Dolce & Gabbana. D&G watches were an experience for people instead of just a watch. So, the focus of the watch makers shifted to design and made watches in such a manner that it became a pleasure for the customer to wear these watches.

After the launch of Time watches, Dolce & Gabbana started the trend of introducing new designs of watches in every season. The fans of D&G watches desperately wait for the new watches from D&G in every season.

The customers can decide themselves while placing the order that what colour and what material they want to buy in a specific model.

Dolce & Gabbana watches are brought in the market with the collaboration of different watch manufacturers. These watches are available in Dolce & Gabbana outlets.

D&G Fashion Powerhouse and Watch Maker


D&G is the label from the famous fashion house: Dolce and Gabbana. It is an Italian casual brand. It sets the trends rather than following them. This company was started by two Italian designers, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. It is placed in Milan, Italy, and was founded in 1982.

After three years, they launched their first women fashion range, which was a huge success. When they decided to go international, their first outlet was opened in Japan in the year 1989. Then in 1991, they brought their range for men, which was again a great success. Since then, they have expanded into hand bags, shoes, sun glasses, watches, swim wear, underwear and jeans.

D&G is famous for corset suits and leopard prints, and also for their sleek three piece pantsuits. D&G is actually the younger and cheaper version of Dolce and Gabbana. This trend of introducing a cheaper and trendier line of fashion clothes was first set by Dolce and Gabbana under a diffusion label of D&G, which was then followed by other big companies.

Under this label, trendy clothes like leopard print pencil skirts and leather pants were introduced, which would not be available otherwise from such a big fashion powerhouse. One could only buy them from cheap boutiques. D&G brought these modern trends under its wings, thus, giving them security.

Other than clothes, D&G Watches also offers designer watches. This company enjoys international reputation. They say that to wear the label of super stars you can go for their watches if their gowns are too expensive. This way, you can go for sport fashion at a fraction of the price. They sell a selection of watches at an affordable price under the names of Cest, Chic, Croisette and Estelle.

In designer watches, three names are high in fashion; Seiko, Breil and D&G. All these three brands have their own unique reputation. Seiko enjoys the reputation of being durable and technically strong. Breil is known for its Swiss and Italian styles combined. D&G watches represent youth and glamour. Young people like to wear the brands worn by super models.

D&G was primarily known for women fashion clothes, but then they soon covered the difference between their sales of women and men fashion lines. Now, it is equally known as a company for men too.

In 2009, Dolce and Gabbana introduced their makeup line. They say that makeup is another liking of women just like dress. They boast of making makeup for them with the same care as they make dresses for them. According to them, women change makeup whenever they like just as they change their dress whenever they like. Other products of D&G, like eye wear, are also a very sought-after commodity.

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana Biography


Date and Place of Birth

Domenico Dolce: September 13, 1958 in Polizzi Generosa a small village near Palermo, Sicily.

Stefano Gabbana: November 14, 1962 in Venice; grew up in Milan.

Career

Dolce is the son of a Sicilian tailor, and grew up working in his father's clothing factory, drawing and sewing. Although he began studying science at university, he soon became bored of the subject, and dropped out to attend art school. Upon graduation, he left Sicily and moved to Milan, in search of fame and fortune.

Gabbana had always been interested in fashion, and studied graphic design at a fashion college, moving away from the fashion industry to become an advertising art director after graduation. His interest in fashion never waned though, and by 1980, he was working for the same Milan-based fashion designer as Dolce.

Sharing many of the same interests and influences, they formed a partnership in 1981, acting as consultants to factories and thread companies. In 1985, they were invited by the organisers of the Milano Collezioni to showcase their designs in the New Talents forum, which led them to present their first independent women's ready-to-wear show the following spring. Using friends as models, their creations won international acclaim, attracting buyers from stores such as Harvey Nichols and Browns.

Since then, they have enlarged their repertoire to include lingerie, beachwear, menswear, accessories, perfume, eyewear, footwear and a ready-to-wear bridal collection. The duo has also recorded a dance music CD under the D&G label. Ten years after their first collection, they were reporting a company turnover of $700 million.

Dolce & Gabbana trademarks include underwear-as-outerwear, extravagantly printed and embroidered coats, pinstripe suits, and black. They are renowned for making women look, quite simply, devastatingly sexy. Their designs are often to be seen on the likes of Isabella Rossellini, Nicole Kidman and Madonna, for whom they created the now-famous "Kylie Minogue" tribute T-shirt.
