CULTURAL ICON KIM KARDASHIAN SERVES AS MUSE AND CURATOR FOR CIAO, KIM, DOLCE & GABBANA’S NEW SPRING/SUMMER 2023 COLLECTION

DOMENICO DOLCE AND STEFANO GABBANA are known to delve deep into their archives in search of inspiration for their new collections. This season sees the dynamic duo partnering with fashionista Kim Kardashian as they revisit some of their collections from the 90s and 00s, reigniting understated palettes of camel, charcoal and ivory with metallics and animal print. Kim drew from her own life in addition to the Dolce & Gabbana archives to bring the sleek silhouettes of the late 1980s and early 2000s to life through shapely bustiers, corsets and the glitter of jewels.

Kim’s avant-garde taste has given an entire generation the courage to establish their own identity, and her assertive, feminine independence embodies the Dolce & Gabbana spirit and aesthetic. Following the curation of the anticipated Spring/Summer 2023 collection in Milan last year, Kim was photographed by fashion photographers Mert and Marcus in a classic Italian Villa, wearing garments and accessories from the line. The shoot pays homage to sensual elegance in black and white, with Kim as the centrefold. Dolcegabbana.com
