Line We Love : D&G MAN FASHION SHOW SUMMER 2012

The designing duo Dolce and Gabbana saluted the versatile foulard in the spring/summer 2012 menswear collection for their second line, D&G.

This collection was inspired by the silky printed Foulard .The whole collection is characterized by the use of foulards as the central element .

The D&G collection previewed the foulard, appearing in half a dozen patterns, formed the defining element of everything from blazers to shirts, from swim trunks to trousers.

Foulard prints turned up on suede moccasins and hats.

The theme was a great occasion to deconstruct clothes, and restitch them with a colorful silk cloth to create a contrast of fabrics.

Tapered silk trousers had a denim waistline. The back of a denim shirt was a large foulard print — great ventilation on hot days. Another jean shirt had silken sleeves.

Also they served up linen trousers and shorts, distressed denim pants and shorts and another staple for next summer: raffia hats.

D&G’s trademark finale featured bare-chested models in silk foulard bathing trunks, wearing brightly colored suede moccasins, striding en masse down the runway.

This collection gets my heart-racing, excited for a sojourn just about anywhere. Chic, cool, rugged but also aged and a little flamboyant, this is what I'd dream to wear in the summer.

Colors:
blue, light blue, army green, beige, orange

Fabrics:
washed cotton, silk, linen

Accessories:
laced up moccasins in super soft chamois with fringe detail, fedora hats with contrasting bands and sunglasses. Maxi shopping bags in leather details thought out also for the evening

Fashion Report: Mary-Kate Olsen Goes Gypsy-Chic for Marie Claire

Mary-Kate Olsen is flying solo on the cover of Marie Claire's September issue.

The former child star/current style icon gave twin sister Ashley the slip for the fashion-forward shoot, which has her striking a pose in sequins, a military coat, and feathers in three dazzling cover images.

The issue also sees Olsen channeling her inner gypsy woman in a sheer black Giambattista Valli dress paired with a Dolce & Gabbana jacket from which gold charms dangle.

On location at The Inn in Quogue, New York, photographer Tesh snapped The Row designer in a series of images that highlight Olsen's eccentric boho-chic style -- think fur, ankle-sweeping skirts, and effortlessly tousled blonde locks.

 The 24-year-old starlet wears chunky furs from Marc Jacobs, Doo.ri, Cassin, and Alexander McQueen with everything from a sweet ballerina pink Dior dress and Topshop skirt to a sexy candy-apple redGivenchy dress with matching boots.

The accessories, too, are powerful, ranging from a quirky antler headpiece from Anne Valerie Hash to bling from Stephen Webster.

In between donning some seriously covetable clothing, Olsen opened up to writer Kimberly Cutter about her design career, saying, "It's kind of like a mask to hide behind."

"It took us a year-and-a-half to make the first T-shirt," she says of The Row.

"I still read scripts, and if something great comes along, that's great... but this is my day job.

"The Row is where I go every day."

Does that mean there won't be an "It Takes Two 2"? Say it ain't so!
