Dolce&Gabbana launches “Milan Fashion Soccer Players Portraits” book

Just this Thursday, 19th of May 2011, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana celebrated AC Milan’s 18th Serie A football championship – the team won on May 7, 2011 against Inter Milan – with the whole team and their supporters. The party has taken place at Dolce & Gabbana Men’s boutique, Corso Venezia 13, Milan.

An exhibition in the style of AC Milan, thanks to a maxi screen that brings to life the most beautiful goals of the recently ended season, as well as the photos of the book and the live comments of the fans. The designer-duo gave a party for the presentation of the new book “MILAN FASHION SOCCER PLAYERS PORTRAITS” dedicated to AC Milan, a series of sophisticated portraits in black and white shot at Milanello by photographer Marco Falcetta. The famous fashion photographer focused not on the athletes’ bodies – as already done in the past for many successful books and advertising campaigns – but rather presented a personal view of the players. The stylish portraits, signed by young and eclectic photographer for his first collaboration with Dolce&Gabbana, offer a new image of these modern gladiators, where their style is more effective than many words in describing their mood and personality, as players and as men, in a series of pages dedicated to each member of the team.

The book offers a new occasion for reflection on the changes in society at the time of social networks: fashion, like the new soccer, becomes available to everybody but at the same time, fashion is seen as the modern language to express one’s individuality. Dolce and Gabbana further stated that “Fashion today is to be considered the new soccer. Dressing the AC Milan players one by one, finding – with their help – the right ensemble and combining fashion with personal needs is our way of continuing an experiment namely, expressing the world of today, the changes, the breakdown of boundaries, and strangely enough the importance of the individual, his or her uniqueness.”

Adriano Galliani, Massimiliano Allegri, Massimo Ambrosini, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alexandre Pato, Thiago Silva, Alessandro Nesta, Clarence Seedorf, Kevin Prince Boateng and the whole AC Milan team were present.

The fab five: Fade to white

White nail polish got a big boost at the Spring shows last September when it turned up on the runway at Rag & Bone and Moschino — and an even bigger boost when Rihanna rocked the stark opaque color to an LA Lakers game over Christmas with Chris Brown, which turned out to be the couple’s unofficial “we’re back together” announcement (they have since split… again). It’s an unexpected, albeit wonderful alternative to more predictable pastels as the warmer weather graces us with [...]

Italian menswear line Gagliardi debuts sharp suit separates for Summer

Man is an evolutionary creature who demands an equally versatile, adaptable and no-hassle wardrobe. The ubiquitous suit often dominates menswear runways, and tends to fall into the “business casual” or “evening” categories, with little options for everyday wear in between. Italian menswear line Gagliardi intends to spice up the conception of rigid menswear with its sporty new collection that combines catwalk detailing with classic tailoring for a revamped approach to spring. Distinctly incorporating Mediterranean heritage into the garments, Gagliardi’s spring collection [...]
