Dolce & Gabbana fashion for summer sings of Sicily

 MILAN - The boys are happy. Glad it's summer. Happy to be Sicilian.

A group of musicians in traditional costume, with mandolins and tambourines, by 73 men and boys, who was accompanied on the runway at Dolce & Gabbana Square in the center of Milan, with combinations of old black and white, a reference design for the duo to their Sicilian roots.

The invitation to the show Saturday summer 2013 men had a black and white of the Sicilian coast on the cover. That was a quote from G. Tomasi di Lampedusa, author of the Sicilian "The Leopard": "Your vanity is stronger than their misery," he said of his fellow islanders.

Often opulent, if not pretentious in their fashion preferences, decided in this round, the duo of simplicity, starting with models. From 12 to 43 years, all non-professionals, they come from all walks of life including students, painters, hairdressers, waitresses or simply unemployed, and were the result of three months after casting Sicily.

"We wanted our clothes to put on real men, because fashion should be for real people," said Stefano Gabbana, told reporters before the show.

This is perhaps why, despite setting the time, the models looked so comfortable in her black and white striped T-shirt thin black pants or black shorts accessorized with a simple black cap the Sicilian.

For more formal wear, man sets his Sicilian Sunday best: a pure slim white shirt with open collar and a big dress with tight-fitting jacket and trousers. The boys, as was the custom until not very long to remain short circuits.

Most of the costumes were accompanied by robust leather sandals.

A look at the clothes, however, shows that it is not a low-cost fashion.

The fabrics are ultralight and ultra-chic linen, silk, wool and light muslin.

Silk shirts, if he does not know, have a keen sense of the dolls, while revealing the fine mesh jerseys Greek temples and painted cars.

The grand finale, all 73 models, such as a parade of plain dark suits and white jackets. In reality, each device is unique, except in the greater choice of fabric or style.
