“THE D&G SS12 Womenswear show is quickly approaching: the first thing we want to know is the mood,” teases Swide, the in-house digital rag of Dolce&Gabbana about the D&G show that will start in less than two hours. “We show you just enough not to ruin the surprise for when the gorgeous models take over.”

From its inception the young urban bridge line, D&G (women and men), has been bold, hip, edgy and in-your-face sexy. (D&G Men Spring 2012 was shown this summer and is true to form.) For Spring 2012, however, D&G Women is a bohemian-chic that is softer and exudes a demure sexiness.

Of course, this assessment is based soley on scant details. “What's behind that door?” Dolce&Gabbana coyly asks in a Tweet yesterday. “We could open it but ... let's wait for tomorrow.” Naturally
The show, scheduled for 2 p.m. Milan time (8 a.m. New York time), will stream live at http://www.bit.ly/n2aPxa.

Not Wasting a Stitch: 'Eco-Fashion the Park'

THE drumbeat for sustainability continues on Sunday with the extravaganza, “Eco-Fashion in the Park” at Highbridge Park in upper Manhattan.
It is the season of fashion. Naturally, there is a show. Lissy Gómez (Lvg Designs) and Wendel Johnston are among 11 designers who will put some of their work on a runway. All are committed in word and designs to reducing the collective carbon footprint by working with sustainable materials. Just as important, they wish to raise awareness about the importance of sustainability to an audience that might not have gotten the memo.
“It’s great to see how upcoming, independent designers work with materials that are good for the environment,” “Eco-Fashion in the Park” producer Gina Constanza said in a statement. GC is also a stylist, image consultant and founder of House of Glam (not the Oxygen series). “Shifting fashion to be more sustainable and eco-friendly in their work is just the beginning of an unforgettable prelude to my commitment to this initiative.”

The day’s activities, which are free and open to the public, also include a clothing swap (clean/wearable for clean/wearable), body-painting and a live band.
Designer, researcher and educator Trudy Miller will preside over a live demonstration, presumably of sustainable fashion. Some of her past work, according to her LinkedIN page, includes the development of “a zero waste convertible wardrobe system for women on the go.”
