You know us, we are suckers for collaborations, which is why we are super-excited about the latest stylish partnership that sees Dolce & Gabbana create its first ever dedicated capsule collection, exclusively for net-a-porter.com.
The Italian fashion powerhouse, Dolce & Gabbana, has decided to start the year on a high with a absolute first, launching a one-off resort 2015 collection for online style portal net-a-porter.com, which will be available from January 21, 2015.
The geniuses that are Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have designed an eight-piece capsule inspired by the Mediterranean summer (a constant source of inspiration for the duo), featuring florals and lace, two of the house’s signature romantic aesthetics.
Feminine shapes define the collection, which includes some of the brand’s classic silhouettes: square and round neck fitted dresses, fitted ruffled skirts, tailored shorts and tops with mini patchwork detailing. Joyful and romantic, it represents the true essence of the Italian brand.
In the intricate design sketches, given to Emirates Woman, we can see the inspiration behind each design and the fabric used.
Net-a-porter.com is fast becoming renowned for its exclusive and high-end partnerships, offering its visitors unique wears. Designers involved in past collaborations include Olympia Le-Tan, Simone Rocha, Altuzarra and let’s not forget the launch of the Karl Lagerfeld Barbie, a personal favourite for us.
Here are some of our most-loved pieces from the new collection that will be available on net-a-porter.com on January 21.
Typical round neck A-line top
Frill-hem skirt
Playful, yet elegant, shorts
A dress with the classic Dolce & Gabbana feminine silhouette

It seems Dolce & Gabbana is making a habit of doing ‘firsts’ this year. Its spring 2015 campaign stars a fabulous trio of Spanish grandmothers, modelling the label’s next season accessories. In the advert, shot by Domenico Dolce, the women clutch heavily-embellished purses while wearing gold tiaras and red carnations. Proving you can be fashionable at all any age, what’s not to love?
