Dolce
& Cabbana
Domenico Dolce
and Stefano Gabbana, considered in some circles to be the “bad
boys” of Italian design, have actually become the new generation
ambassadors of “made in Italy” style. Since 1985, when they were
selected by Milano Collezioni as one of the three new names in
Italian fashion, they’ve consistently turned the fashion world’s
notions of style and attitude upside down. A Dolce & Gabbana
creation has a precise style — yet it connotes rapid and
breath-taking change. Their designs are dangerous and exciting —
borrowing as much from the old as from the new. But their ideas are
always fresh, unexpected and immediately popular with celebrities
from Madonna to Isabella Rossellini, and the general consuming
public alike.
Having
established a revolutionary stance in the world of fashion, their
collections now include accessories, men’s underwear, beach wear,
bridal, knitwear — and the latest Dolce & Gabbana creation —
eyewear.
The Dolce
collection is a reflection of the Dolce & Gabbana character.
Distinguished by extremes in mood, design and materials — these
innovative and somewhat surprising sunglasses appeal to almost
everyone’s sense of fun or, perhaps, mystery. Frame designs
include simple, matte-finished metal ovals with decorative cut-out
temples, streamlined wraparounds in matte-finished acrylics, and
oversized rounds in a variety of patterns from copper-tone plastic
and faux tortoise shell to a raucous black and white zebra print.
Dolce &
Gabbana also take care of their customers’ eyes. All lenses —
available in dark blue, dark gray, amber, green or dark neutral —
are impact resistant polycarbonate which provide 100% UVA and UVB
protection. |
