Inspired by ancient gold-working techniques, Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall/Winter 2014 fashion show used antique gold filigree to create a strapless top, shoes and bags, with the look of jewellery. 

The history behind the traditional Italian gold-working is visible in the Moorish-style buildings of Palermo, the baroque spirals of Sicilian churches and the island’s traditional jewels.

The new Dolce & Gabbana women’s eyewear collection takes its inspiration directly from this heritage and is adorned with delicate small filigree flowers manually applied by skilled artisans. 

The passion for Sicilian glittering gold brocade is celebrated with sophisticated elegance in the new “Golden Leaves” collection by Dolce&Gabbana.

Sensual and ultra-feminine forms are enriched with exclusive and lavish gold details that recall gold leaves floating in a crystal frame. The result is a magnificently brilliant “mélange” of unique and intensely feminine pieces.
