Dolce&Gabbana’s foray into ornithology continues from the Spring Summer 2016 fashion show collection, where the majestic peacock took centre stage of the chinoisery inspired prints, with delicate patterns of colourful hummingbirds and parrots.
Parrots and hummingbirds have always been prized for the bright hues of their colourful plumage, which alternates, in an infinite kaleidoscope of nuances, green, yellow, red, blue, black and orange. Apart from the iridescent vividness of its colours, the hummingbird features an extraordinary mobility of the wings, which allows it to hover in mid-air and to fly backwards. For these reasons parrots and hummingbirds are not only consummate symbols of beauty, but represent complete freedom and exceptional abilities.
