Leo Messi And Dolce & Gabbana: An Assist in Style

Since 2010 Leo Messi has been dressed by Dolce & Gabbana. And now the designers have created a dedicated website to discover the latest news and unique style of the Argentine footballer: www.dolcegabbanc.com/leo-messi/
 

“I would like to thank Dolce&Gabbana for having made this collaboration possible. I have always had a preference for their sartorial style and I have always loved the sophisticated image they project.”
Leo Messi
 

Dolce&Gabbana has always had a privileged relationship with the sporting world and has contributed in transforming football players into so much more than mere on-pitch idols: they have made them into the style icons.
 
In 2012 Leo Messi won, for the fourth time consecutively, the FIFA Golden Ball, becoming the only player in history to have achieved this feat. For the historic occasion Messi wore Dolce&Gabbana.
 
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana created a one-button black silk tuxedo with white polka dots and black satin lapels, especially for him. A classic tailored vest made of black wool with 4 buttons and a white shirt completed the look.
 
Recently, Leo Messi was shot by Domenico Dolce in Dolce&Gabbana’s signature elegant look with classic tailoring. A collaboration that expertly blends sport and fashion.

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.
