A unique experience of immersion in Italian cultural traditions and their symbolism: the evocative atmosphere given by the special decorations fills the boutique with the beauty and liveliness typical of the Sicilian cart.

Creative masterpieces that interpret the identity codes of the brand: beauty, elegance, and attention to details that tell a story about passion and love of fashion. The Dolls are 40 cm tall with a sweet and most expressive face, thanks to the delicate touch of a specialized team that drew their features using colour palettes selected by a Dolce&Gabbana Make-up Artist, evoking the quintessential aesthetic of the brand. The Dolls are realized using a material that gives them a special softness to the touch, and their hair is particularly silky and shiny. The looks of the four Dolls are inspired by the Girl’s collection, reflecting the characteristics of the apparel in the Dolce&Gabbana Women’s collection. The Dolls are produced by Giochi Preziosi.

The model is enhanced by the DG Baroque monogram, customized with a pattern of leaves and small flowers of finely antiqued gold metal.

The stem and the front are embellished with gold-coloured metal details.

The launch of Dolce&Gabbana’s special project includes the following collaborations: Smeg, Pastificio Di Martino, Fiasconaro.

Dolce&Gabbana and Fiasconaro renew their collaboration, born from the magical encounter between North and South and translated into a revisitation of the typical Milanese recipe of panettone with the ingredients and flavors of Sicily, in a perfect combination of tradition and modernity.

This year, in addition to the classic panettone from the collection, the Sicilian Pistachio version covered with white chocolate that comes with a pistachio soft spreading cream and the Sicilian Citrus and Saffron version, the creativity of Dolce&Gabbana and the confectionery art of Fiasconaro, give life to two new recipes with a unique flavor: the traditional Panettone with perpetuo wine Vecchio Samperi di Sicilia and the Panettone with glazed chestnuts and gianduia. These desserts can be accompanied by new spreads (200gr) that can be purchased separately: with almonds, chocolate and pistachio.

SMEG Dolce&Gabbana.

The collection of small appliances Sicily is My Love, a unique and original celebration of Made in Italy, is realized by Smeg with the unmistakable creativity of Dolce&Gabbana. A revolutionary partnership that has created a new perception of the appliance: no longer a simple product, but a real artistic object. Toasters, citrus juicers, kettles, blenders and slow juicers are embellished by Sicilian decorations, as a reference to the culture and the values of the island. Lemons, citrus fruits, prickly pears and cherries are mixed with delicate floral motifs inspired by the greenery of the coasts and the landscapes of southern Italy. Designs of the Etna volcano, surrounded by Greek frets, perfectly merge with the picturesque ruins of the Greek temple of Castor and Pollux located in the Valley of the Temples. A sequence of styles, colours and decorations typical of the Neapolitan soul illuminates the small appliances, bringing forth the essence of Sicily into the home.

Dolce&Gabbana and Pastificio Di Martino celebrate pasta, the symbol of the Italian gastronomic culture, personalizing the packages with graphic inspired by the Sicilian majolica and references to the most famous symbols and monuments of the peninsula. The expertise on product and the knowledge of Pastificio di Gragnano - in business since 1912 - meet the creativity of Dolce&Gabbana that branded the packaging with the iconic colours and elements of the Italian culture. Majolica, the character of Pulcinella and the dishes of Italian culinary tradition frame the remarkable Pastificio Di Martino logo with a Mediterranean flavor. On the occasion of Christmas 2019, a new tin has been created, in the shades of blue; inspired by Naples’ landscape, it is enriched with marine decorations and symbols of the Italian tradition, such as the figure of Pulcinella and scenes of family conviviality. To flavor Pastificio Di Martino’s pasta and create a deliciously Italian dish, the 400gr tin of Pomodorino Corbarino, a must-have ingredient of the Mediterranean cuisine. The cans come with special little surprises, such as an apron and a pair of American placemats: the ideal accessories to combine the delicacies of Pastificio di Martino with the creativity of Dolce&Gabbana.

Dolce&Gabbana creates eight special candles, each with a different name and scent: Il nostro Giardino, Neroli, Gentiluomo, Pino Mediterraneo, Incenso, Alloro, Acqua di Mare and Brezza di Mare. The candles are contained in precious Caltagirone ceramic vases, made and hand painted by local artisans and depicting traditional Sicilian Moors, owls and fruit vases. The faces of women and men in ceramics are decorated with crowns, lemons, exotic and delicate Indian figs ornamental motifs, echoing the typical symbols of Sicily in a praise of Mediterranean colours and fragrances.
