Virility of the American Indians
D&G SPRING/SUMMER 2007 MENSWEAR COLLECTION
SETTING
The endless North American plains and New Mexico desert; via Arizona, Nevada and the Dakotas, as far North as the Subarctic.
INSPIRATION
American Indians with their virility and good looks, men of natural beauty whose bodies, sculpted by outdoor activities, close to nature.
CONTRASTS
An Indian tradition mixed with modernity, handcrafted and ancient-style natural fabrics with sports materials of tracksuit trousers and jackets or bright lycra colored swimwear. The contrast of topstitched and decorated suede loafers worn with logoed gym socks.
SPORTS
Those played by American college teams - baseball, rugby, basketball. The Sports League is introduced, made up of historic Indian tribes who wear sweatshirts with suede fringe, while terry cloth head and wristbands are replaced by the beads and feathers of Indian Chiefs. Suede legwarmers are worn over the sneakers.
COLOURS
Beige natural and cognac, orange, yellow and shocking pink.
FABRICS
Suede, denim, cotton, velour.
SHAPES
Larger volumes with echoes of the eighties, such as oversized t-shirts and a rethink of oversized pants and shorts.
ACCESSORIES
Oversized shoulder bags with fringe and beads, suede boots and loafers and sneakers. Belts with a themed buckle of eagles and Apache Indians.
JEWELERY
Ankle and wristbands in handmade metal. Pendants with Indian crosses, animal teeth, feathers and chronographs.
