Sicilian fashion is going through a period of growth
and fame in Sicily.
Doubtless,
the amazing growth in this sector is mainly due to the
inventiveness and hard work of young designers whose talent
is ever appreciated by the market and by fashion magazines too.
The young islanders who developed their talent in the
Academies of Palermo, Catania and Rome are now the symbol of
“made in Sicily” fashion.
Most of these young people,
who work for other designers and later opened their own
fashion houses,
can now boast fashion shows in Sicily, Rome, Milan or even abroad,
not to talk about co-operations with other fashion houses.
Talented designers from Sicily,
like Domenico Dolce from Dolce&Gabbana,
all share a strong tie with their land and it’s traditions,
which include a rich background in ancient tailoring techniques;
they have learnt to master and adapt clothes to the latest trends.
Sicilian style mirrors the island’s history with a mixture of
Baroque and Arab influence,
aristocratic affectation,
jewel making tradition and Mediterranean style.
Warm and bright colors prevail,
and they recall the sun, the sky and the sea of Sicily
with it’s wild nature and it’s volcano.
White is the dominant color for wedding dresses and Sicily
can boast an ancient tradition in this sector.
Many fashion houses are specialized in wedding dresses
and offer a wide range of models:
from classical dresses to rather daring ones.
However,
the “made in Sicily” stands out for the quality
of it’s fabrics,
the greatest care of details, and it’s original style.
