Say Goodbye: D&G Is Discontinued

Jenna Sauers — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 13:50:00 EDT

Dolce & Gabbana is discontinuing its lower-priced D&G line. The spring collection, just shown in Milan, will be the brand's last. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana say that they have long looked to Chanel, with its one brand, as an example for business. D&G's many licenses, including perfumes and eyewear, will gradually be phased out. The closure of D&G had been rumored as far back as this March. At the time, retailers expressed surprise. One said, "I don't understand, because D&G is a line that makes €400 million [$531 million], it's young and flexible and it's doing really well. It's a lot to ask retailers. In my case, for example, I don't carry the signature line, but I've never missed a season with D&G." [WWD] More »

If You Like Loud, Busy Scarves, You'll Love D&G Spring 2012

Dodai Stewart — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 19:45:00 EDT

Milan fashion week marches on, and the D&G show was a parade of elaborate patterns and a riot of color. Many of the garments looked like the designers had quite literally taken scarves from their grandma's closet and tied and stitched them together into swimsuits, shorts, tunics and sundresses. Some of the sherbet-hued baroque minidresses look fun, springy and chic. Other ensembles are mismatched, outrageous, obnoxious, noisy and fucking cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. One get-up is so unlike the others I thought there had been a mistake, but no. It is also by D&G. Can you spot it? More »

If the Spring/Summer '08 ready-to-wear collection from D&G doesn't make you want to sing, well then there must be something wrong with you.
