Your Friday French Fashion Report: Dolce and Gabbana Spring/Summer Collection 2011

To quote stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe; "I die!" The fresh, white collection from D&G for Spring/Summer 2011 is a gift from heaven after a long winter shrouded in black - the official color of Paris street wear. With the exception of a foray into bloomers, (the Italian answer to this seasons "super short" which should never be worn by anyone over the age of 2) there are so many wearable pieces that deserve to be called collectible. Cut work and delicate laces add a sweetness to the classic, elegant lines of a simple pencil dress, and undergarments reminiscent of Granny panties seem to work under a sheer flowing white skirt! Reminiscent of the maillot de bain of the 1950's and '60's; shorts, bras and crop tops are featured, layered with little jackets and and accessorized with a bit of bling. Oversized charm bracelets, a Grace Kelly bag in white, and a pair of impossibly high platform stilletos and you are ready to stroll La Croissette! The little white dress is the new black; if it is the only thing you add to your wardrobe this season do it!
