Part of the SS09 Dolce & Gabbana collection explores a aristocratic Sicilian world - a world of decadence, parties, wealth and Baroque. We discover gold - the key colour to transform next season's wardrobes and delve deeper into what makes the designers tick.
Dolce & Gabbana have always maintained Sicily as their style DNA - it is a seductress, a creature that breathes life, beauty and an age of elegance into their designs. For their new SS09 collection entitled "Pyjama Baroque" collection, they took inspiration from a a part of Sicily that no longer exists - a time of aristocratic balls, of vast villas with doors of gold and an elegant richness and beauty.
Naturally Dolce & Gabbana have added some spice - dresses are tailored adding a sexy edge to the elegance, and gold is the new black. Taking inspiration from the decadent Baroque interiors of the Sicilian aristocratic period - gold is worked onto wedges, belts, necklaces and slim clutches, giving the collection its 2009 edge.
Cinderella, you will go to the ball.
Part of the Dolce & Gabbana SS09 womenswear collection has its inspiration in the cult film, The Leopard. The film's golden Sicilian baroque opulence, and rich colour created the foundations for this modern collection.
Opulence, elegance, evening dresses, ballrooms, rich silks, red and gold - all words that bring to mind Luchino Visconti's hit film, The Leopard - and now pieces from the SS09 Dolce & Gabbana womenswear collection.
Although the designer's journey may have begun in the ballroom - where the film ends, the designers, have created a and elegant and modern interpretation, inspired by the beauty in his fairytale aristocratic Sicilian masterpiece.
Baroque scenes from the must-see film can be found in the gold woven into sharp tailored suits and dresses, jackets with three quarter sleeves and quirky wedges, creating a fresh spin on the concept of opulence and that set next season's key trends for a gold and metallic colour palette.

Fall 09 Collection
The thirties and forties references played through the displaced gloves used as headpieces and scarves, the shell-shaped buttons, ballooning shoulder ,the clunky wartime suede platform wedges, the homages to Schiap's shocking pink, and, of course, those huge, puffed-up leg-of-mutton sleeves, rising up in some cases to earlobe level. The spending on luxe materials and a cinematic level of beauty never ceased. Fox, dyed goat hair, mink, and rich brocades were worked into narrow-waisted silhouettes, alternating—though not much—with bell-shaped skirts.

-splashing broad brush streaks and flowers on bolts of fabric
Starting with pale brushstrokes on parchment canvas, cut into an opening sequence of crinolined dresses, caban coats, and a great reiteration of their signature flared trousers. From there, the show became ever more confident, drawing on the cache of experience the duo have stored up over years: It had corseting, inserted into some beautiful covered-up shift dresses; tailoring, seen in oversize brocade tux jackets; and jewel-colored Venetian cut velvets covered with a veiling of tulle. By the end, Dolce & Gabbana had ticked all the boxes of trend—transparency, fairylike silhouettes, a nod to the seventies, and a grand finale of painted organza fifties-fantasy ball gowns.
