Dolce and Gabbana A/W 13'

 

   This collection by Dolce and Gabbana seems to be heavily influenced by artwork within Italian history.  The Santa Maria Nuova, which is a cathedral in Monreale, Sicily is what initially inspired the designers to create such unusual and bold pieces, and this shows throughout the collection, which uses mosaic design and embellishment in the form of jewels. My favourite thing about this is that the designers have put a great amount of thought into every piece in this collection, and it all comes together seamlessly, with each piece telling a story and bringing a cultural influence into the 21st century.
