Dolce and Gabbana for H&M? No!

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana about cheap brands like H&M, Target, Zara...

S.G.: [laughs] I ask him if he goes to mass to design collections...D.D.: It's classic elegance. Elegance is always beautiful, contemporary and timeless. It doesn't have to be about the latest trend, or from a signature brand. Its forever. Recently, it's all "trusciume" [in Sicilian, cheap, trashy] — there's no quality, these fast-fashion companies churning out looks. People thought it was cool, but it's cheap. You can't expect quality at 20 euros [$27]. It's like good codfish at 5 euros [$6.70] -- how can it be? But it's not a matter of price. Elegance is intellectual; it's about good taste, the cut, proportions, quality, how you carry yourself.

Dolce & Gabbana Launches Haute Couture

Today Dolce & Gabbana confirmed rumours that it will create a small couture collection for the first time, to be showed July 9th to a group of clients in Taormina, Sicily.

The unveiling will take place far from the classic couture environs of Paris; the eye of the Chambre Syndicale, the governing body of the French couture tradition; and the fashion media. The choice is strategic, for a number for reasons:

1. It maintains the very exclusive, private allure of the couture;

2. It allows Dolce & Gabbana to avoid the stringent requirements the French couture world imposes on any brand that wants to call itself a full-fledged couture house;

3.  It gives them a chance to launch their first collection free of critics, who might not like it!

Apparently a select few — three — media outlets are being invited to the unveiling, but no American newspapers, and not this one.

Still (no sour grapes here!) it’s interesting that Dolce & Gabbana, which closed it’s lower-priced D&G line last year in order to concentrate on its main line, would choose to, effectively, trade-up to couture.
