Designers Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce hit New York at the beginning of November to shoot their forthcoming spring 2010 advertising campaign with Steven Klein. Swide being the backstage beast that it is was hanging out in the shadows capturing all the action… Watch the video below:
The first in a unique video series entitled the ‘Pre-Show Diaries‘, Dolce & Gabbana showcase a unique preview of its spring/summer 2010 collection before their catwalk show on September 27th at the Metropol theatre, in Milan.
Opening a previously unseen window on the work of designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana and their style team in the days prior to their catwalk show, this new democratic way of showing a collection, will offer an exclusive collection preview to a wider audience than solely to the fashion industry.
“Divine decadence—Italian style—is something Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have preached their entire careers. So what better way to celebrate the land of Fellini and Visconti than with a series of sexy tableaux starring the wild boys of Milanesefashion themselves on their peninsula in Portofino?” W Magazine

The exclusive backstage of the D&G Fashion Show Spring Summer 2010 by James Andrew and below the Italian Swimmers at Dolce & Gabbana Boutique in Milan.
“When he was a boy, Stefano Gabbana’s vision of fashion nirvana was Fiorucci, so you can imagine how he felt to be parading D&G’s re-edition of the brand’s T-shirts down the catwalk in front of Elio Fiorucci himself. Dolce and Gabbana took their cue from the rampant cowgirl in one of Fiorucci’s most iconic images. The catwalk was appropriately sunbaked, the soundtrack was C&W, and the models were rodeo-ready in chambray shirts, faded denims, and cowboy boots (some with spurs). Then the designers pushed the theme a little. The jeans got studded, the studs got leathered, and the D&G DNA kicked in with razor-sharp tailoring, like a shawl-collared jacket in pinstripes, or a three-piece gabardine number. Piped hems and leather appliqué juiced up old favorites (the peak-lapel jacket, the jean shirt) and plaid shirts were deceptively, appealingly gauzy. The only jarring note was a denim britches moment. The duo’s by-now-rote evening finale featured possum-soft brown, rust, and aubergine velvet jackets with jeans. If only Brokeback Mountain’s Ennis del Mar had met Domenico and Stefano before his life went horribly wrong…”
