Inspiration: Surrealism. A fascination with artists like Jean Cocteau, Salvador Dalí, Man Ray, with the artistic wave of the 1920s and with the breaking of the rules brought the dreams, the absurd, the game and the unthinkable in art, stating that when it comes to creativity anything is possible. This is the philosophy behind the Fall/Winter 2009/2010 Dolce&Gabbana; collection that brings to life a luxurious and feminine, yet absolutely innovative fashion, playing with new proportions and the pairing of very different fabrics, precious materials and unexpected details.
