Inspiration
The Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2009 collection reflects the relaxed lifestyle of the modern man who lives his daily life respecting himself and his body.
The whole wardrobe, including fabrics and shapes, is thought to achieve both a mental and a physical wellbeing and incorporates all the elements of classic men’s tailoring.
The symbolic item of this new attitude is the pyjama, whose shape and fabrics are taken as starting points for tailoring elaborations that bring to life an innovative and relaxed style.
