The Bottom Line on the Sicilian Code
The business of the stitch. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana ignored the flash of the camera to focus on the history of the island. The reality is the hours spent in the Milan workshop by the masters of the craft define the premium nature of the coat. Look at the tailoring. Success follows the tuxedo.
I’m still wrapping my head around the shift from the noise of the internet to the quiet of the archive. Yahoo Entertainment reports a surge in the purchase of the suit. Profit grows. The designers chose the heritage of the land and they dismissed the speed of the mass market.
The board of directors in Milan rejected the lure of the fast fashion cycle to protect the legacy of the name. Follow the money. Wool provides the texture. The artisans manage the tension of the thread and the apprentices learn the secrets of the cut. I’m convinced that the focus on the needle of the ancestors proves the identity of the brand. Stock levels remain stable.
