The Vogue 'One Enchanted Evening' editorial delves into the stunning first couture collection of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.
A show of opulent couture with a Sicilian twist, the 'Alta Moda' creations that stunned spectators at their exclusive presentation are showcased in this fashion story. Fantastically rococo-like, the spread graced the pages of September 2012 Vogue. The extravagant designs are a show of Italian grandeur and decadent craftsmanship in tailoring. Each hand-painted creation is made in silk organza and features satin sashes.
Boasting the legendary Grace Coddington as fashion editor, the editorial is vivaciously lavish. Models Ayemline Valade, Bette Franke, Elza Luijendijk and Zuzana Bijoch frolick about at the breathtakingly beautiful gardens of the San Domenico Palace Hotel in Taormina, Italy.
