For Fall/Winter 2025, the Maiolica Collection debuts a new hue: bougainvillaea. The iconic print, inspired by ancient Italian craftsmanship, meets this vibrant shade in a striking contrast. Like a freshly bloomed flower, its tones rest delicately on a luminous white base, tracing sophisticated patterns rich with charm.
This shade draws inspiration from the plant of the same name, which thrives in the mild climate of the Mediterranean, gracing coastal homes with its vivid blooms. A symbol of warmth and welcome, bougainvillaea evokes sun-drenched views and the gentle sea breeze, inviting us on a sensory journey through memory and beauty.
The Maiolica print, an emblem of Dolce&Gabbana’s stylistic codes and the artisanal excellence of Made in Italy, evolves with new elements for Fall/Winter 2025. In selected suits and shirts, cordonetto lace is introduced, enhancing the depth of the print through refined plays of transparency. In other pieces, the pattern expands, unfolds, or is framed by decorative borders that highlight its structure, offering a fresh visual interpretation of this timeless motif.
A 1960s allure flows through the silhouettes: wide, straight lines and lightweight scarves with a surprisingly smooth texture complete hairstyles and looks. This nod to the past is paired with a contemporary aesthetic, featuring cropped tops and versatile pieces designed for a dynamic, modern woman. The collection plays with contrasts, blending past and present in a harmonious balance.
Total looks in this print reveal the full expressive power of the motif, which retains its iconic essence while embracing new inspirations. The meeting of tradition and innovation finds its perfect expression in the choice of the new bougainvillaea hue—vibrant, magnetic, and impossible to overlook.
