EMILIANA PARATI AND THE NEW DOLCE & GABBANA COLLECTION
Debora Benvenuti , Art Director Emiliana Parati , has worked closely with the iconic brand to create a truly remarkable wallpaper collection which portrays the strong , easily identifiable design style and the rich Sicilian Heritage of the Dolce & Gabbana Brand .
Debora explains : “ The collection is made up of five different stylistic themes : Sicilian Carretto , Mediterranean Blue , Leopard , Zebra and Logos .”
Carretto : The patterns here are showing designs and colours of the classic “ Sicilian carretto ” ( cart ), an ancient mean of transport of the island , richly decorated and coloured , which has become a real object of artisanal art today , as well as one of the symbols of Sicilian folk iconography .
Blu Mediterraneo : Another tribute to Sicily , a splendid island rich in history and surprising nature , immersed in the marvelous Mediterranean Sea , of which the most characteristic colours are taken .
In addition to a series of digital panels , sets of traditional wallpapers are also proposed , with different types of embossing effects which add luxurious texture and depth to the designs .
Leopardo : The first of the two “ animalier ” stylistic themes offers a wide range of digital panels , available for printing on varyingly appropriate substrates . They are accompanied by a series of traditional wallpapers that beautifully complement this dramatic design theme . The embosses used on the Leopard faux fur give it a realistic and dramatic natural finish .
Zebra : The second “ animalier ” stylistic theme of the collection share the same characteristics as Lepardo offering a rich choice of digital panels complimented by traditional wallpapers .
