DOLCE & GABBANA

 

Inspiration

An imaginary journey to rediscover ancient Sicily, where history and

myth come together. The Greek temples and theatres, symbols of classic architectural

perfection, are reinterpreted as if in a dream. As if a traveler, having visited some of the marvellous landscapes of ancient Sicily, wanted to recreate those unique settings in his mind:

that type of beauty, magic and enchantment can only be found in such a vision.

Only in an imaginary world can the unexpected and irrational intertwine

with spontaneity and naturalness, while creativity, freed of any bonds with logic, becomes a 

synonym for folly. Like in “Satyricon” by Fellini, the ancient temples and theatres are

transposed into surreal visions that continue to nourish the eyes and soul of the traveler and 

provide images for dreams. The unforeseen is interlaced with spontaneity, creativity

with the absurd, and dreams with reality.
