The extraordinary photographic content, testimonials from celebrities such as Isabella Rossellini and Kate Hudson and the curatorship of the celebrated french art director Fabien Baron make this book the perfect way to celebrate the 20th birthday of the men's fashion collection designed by Italy's most famous designer duo. In 1990, the first fashion show for men's wear imposed such a revolutionary way of restyling men's suits that, in the following year, it won the Woolmark Prize for being the most innovative collection of the year. In 2010, with their June fashion shows, Dolce & Gabbana are celebrating the fact that 20 years have passed since that first, successful step into the world of "pour homme". Since then, not only have great Hollywood stars flaunted the famous shelf bras, lace underwear and shirts of the Italian duo, but actors and singers like Dustin Hoffman and Bono also wear their garments, both at gala events and in their free time. Arguably the most influential designers of our time, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have dressed the world's leading celebrities. This book celebrates 20 years of collections for men by this great duo of fashion designers. It describes the most important milestones and remembers the fashion shows and the advertising campaigns, with exceptional testimonials from Gattuso and Matthew McConaughey.
