Milano: Dolce & Gabbana Womenswear FW 2009.10.

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.
