Classic performance
"I personally don't play any sport, I play with fabrics and colors, but our customers love them (the clothes)," Dolce says laughing, and adds that one customer from California once asked them to do something for tennis.
Sweating in his silk shirt peppered with prints of miniature tennis rackets, the designer carefully showed journalists the pieces backstage and encouraged people to touch them.
"You should touch them, the feeling is different. These days, people say they don't have time. They shop online. Why? Where has your time gone? What's the problem? You need to go to see your doctor (laughs). You need to live your life in a good way. You need time to eat, to drink, to sleep and very important, with family and friends.
"I love to buy fruits, flowers or breads in stores where you touch, you smell and you talk with people."
The designers follow their hearts and their own philosophy, somehow old school, such as keeping the three-day high-fashion weekend quite intimate, like a family, and without fashion bloggers as they seek to stay away from social media.
Now, they have a school in Milan, training young talents in their own way to continue the Dolce & Gabbana's philosophy, Italian culture, creative designs and delicate tailoring.
"We've worked in the business for some 30 years. It's not a job, it's out life. We still enjoy it and every day is a surprise, every day is a new life. And we are new designers every day," Gabbana says.
