TOMS and Dazed Digital launched the 'Generation Change' film project; in July 2012 to find truly inspirational individuals and groups that share TOMS philosophy of starting something that matters.

around denim craftsmanship including 3D denim designs, the exploration of new
silhouettes and experiments in terms of fabric weights and colours.

jacket with 3D constructed sleeves.
A heavy crisp 20oz denim was in A-line jackets and modern
cut denim pant designs.
the use of heavy fabrics including denim and also rich
wools lead to a new silhouette with slim
tops mixes with loose denim fits such as the 3D Charlie pant.
Key theme was a new type of blue called Mazarine, an almost
purple kind of blue which was inspired by Toile de Chine - a fabric that predates denim

Dolce & Gabbana Autumn/Winter 2013
Titled “DEVOTION”, the theme was not just absolute devotion to all things tailoring: cut, fabrics and details, but also devotion to family, to (Catholic) religion and devotion to love.
Fabric for the evening was the luxurious velvet in 3 piece suits and shoes. Elegant in a black and grey palette. Burgundy did bring a splash of colour for one velvet suit with black lapels and pocket flaps.
The Italian classics made way for the Italian flair as colours became brighter and jackets and tops adorned with large floral prints. High waisted trousers kept in the sombre black.
Baggy silk t-shirts were heavily bejeweled, embroidered and adorned with Catholic religious icons.
Religious icons (especially of The Madonna ) were also printed on cotton t-shirts and thin sweatshirts.
The style of the these gave the young models an almost 'altar boy' appearance as the loose wide crew neckline and wide open short sleeves are reminiscent of the altar boy smock.
