Dolce & Gabbana mixes tropics with traditions at Milan fashion show

By Giulia Segreti MILAN (Reuters) – Italian fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana transported guests to a warm and busy Italian street setting for their spring/summer 17 catwalk show on Sunday, in one of the most flamboyant displays of Milan fashion week. A big red “Tropico Italiano” sign hanging from the ceiling, banana trees, coconuts and white sand contrasted the ambience of an Italian village festival as soon as lights went off and young street dancers hit the catwalk, moving to the beat of tarantella folk music. The loud and bright collection by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, known for their rich and embellished looks, carried all the typical elements of their style throughout the years, in a jubilation of gold, laces, embroidery, sequins, flowers, Madonnas, food, animal prints and lights.

Finally, somewhere to store your Dom Perignon: Dolce & Gabbana’s $34k fridges

Smeg makes refrigerators you’d expect to find in a factory built by Willy Wonka. They’re bright and come in almost every color, as well as a variety of patterns. The company is also well known for its retro line of appliances, which you can find in pastels and bright red. They are a luxury brand with prices to match, but $34,140 (€30,000) is ultra-premium. That’s the price Smeg expects its Dolce & Gabbana refrigerators to sell for. The designers teamed up with the appliance maker to create 100 limited-edition hand-painted FAB28 refrigerators. “Every piece is unique, but they all tell a story consistent with our brand identity,” Dolce tells Vogue. “They might be kitchen appliances, but there’s something that is immediately identifiable as Dolce & Gabbana, from the Sicilian barrows to the Trinacria symbol to the marionettes to the Italian lemons and fruits.” Related:  LG’s Signature fridge has a door you can automatically open with your foot We’ve heard of being a slave to fashion, but you’ll really need to commit your whole kitchen to these fridges, at least when it comes to incorporating them into your decor.
