# Ferociously Flirty Frocks The D&G Spring 2012 Collection is the Brand's Final Offering By Souzan Michael | Published 2011-09-23 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dg-spring-2012 References: [style](http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2012RTW-DG) & [fashionologie](http://www.fashionologie.com/DG-Spring-2012-RTW-19176614) It seems that the fashion world is obsessed with yellow this season and the [D&G](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) Spring 2012 collection was no different. Domenico [Dolce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beach-club-popup) and Stefano [Gabbana](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/from-the-heart-to-the-hands) presented their final D&G collection in Milan (they will be merging the brand with Dolce and Gabbana and focusing all of their attention on that) and the verdict is in: color is not going anywhere. The D&G Spring 2012 collection was made up of fun and flirty clothes as if they were on steroids. By that I mean that they were the funnest, flirtiest clothes that Domenico and Stefano could have possibly produced. Neon colors, tight bandage dresses and printed hot shorts dominated the collection. A few maxi dresses were thrown into the mix for good measure, but let's be honest, the D&G Spring 2012 collection was all about glamor and careless fun (which, to the Italian fashion elite, translates to skintight mini dresses). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Obsession with Yellow:** Opportunity for designers to incorporate yellow into their upcoming collections. - **Flirty and Fun Fashion:** Chance for fashion brands to experiment with bold colors and playful designs. - **Merging Brands:** Opportunity for fashion companies to align their brands and focus on streamlining operations. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can incorporate bold colors and playful designs inspired by the D&G Spring 2012 Collection. - **Retail:** Retailers can offer fun and flirty clothing options that appeal to younger demographics. - **Marketing:** Marketing firms can leverage the trend of merging brands as a way to help other companies streamline their operations and improve overall efficiency. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Cheerful Spring-Ready Collaborative Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diane-von-furstenberg-1.md) - [Spring Fashion Blooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformation-spring-2025.md) - [Bold Playful Summer Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duvin-design-co.md) - [Playful Spring-Forward Statements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marc-jacobs-charm-collection.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Handbag Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furla-debuts.md) - [Vibrant Bold Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bruceglen.md)
