Fashion Memoir- Dolce and Gabbana by Franca Sozzani

Fashion Memoir- Dolce and Gabbana by Franca Sozzani            

I want to look into this book to get a better idea of Dolce and Gabbana. Such as what they like to produce as well as the as a brand as a whole. I will put parts of the book such as quotes and sentences that I think represents their brand. 

"Dolce and Gabbana don't obey the rules, every season is a surprise."

"Sicily, folk, the 1800s, hippies: quotations from the past are present in their designs without their being retro. there is always an air of today, a curiosity about new directions- it is not diversittement as an end in itself."

"Dolce and Gabbana's love for strong images lead them to choose the most talented photographers to produce their advertising campaigns."

"They bring together the most disparate evocations. corsets and petit-point, the homeless and a frescoed universe, but the one constant in their work is the south."

"But the duo evolves. They never stop searching."

"They have demonstrated that they have matured, that they do not stay attached to corsets and animal prints but have moved ahead, adding a feminine sweetness and new refinement to their decor and their details."

Demi Moore- " I adore their lightness and simplicity."

"Modernity and capacity to make everything current is what defines the Dolce and Gabbana style."

"We want to use the past, but to project it into the future." Says Domenico Dolce and Stefan Gabbana leads to believe that their quest has just begun.

" Their strength lies in their attention to Mediterranean culture, particularly the tradition of the south, therefore defining an unmistakable style."

At the back of the book there is a Dolce and Gabbana glossary defining all the patterns, colours and other qualities often used in their designs. It gives a good understanding of what Dolce and Gabbana like to include in their designs and what makes them a unique brand. The words they have used shows clearly what Dolce and Gabbana like to use and consider when making these designs.
