The new Maiolica Nera Collection for Fall Winter 2025 offers a contemporary reinterpretation of one of Southern Italy’s most renowned decorative traditions. Like a play of reflections, the deep, magnetic black — reminiscent of Nero Sicilia — evokes a rich heritage of memories, atmospheres, and visual inspirations that have always been integral to Dolce&Gabbana’s DNA.
This fusion gives rise to a fresh vision, renewing the brand’s connection to Fatto a Mano and Made in Italy by reinterpreting a bold graphic motif with the introduction of a new hue.
The contrast between the pure white background and the black, brushstroke-style maiolica design creates striking all-over prints with a rich, textured feel. This blend of artistry and craftsmanship gives each piece a uniquely refined character.
The decorative motif comes to life on a range of fabrics that enhance its three-dimensional quality: printed lace with delicate transparencies, jacquard silk, crêpe de chine, macramé lace, lightweight linen, and natural cotton. Each interpretation in the Maiolica Nera Collection tells a story of authentic craftsmanship, embodying its surprising character.
The black accents in the Maiolica Nera Collection act like the frame of a work of art, highlighting the print by either enclosing it entirely or letting it flow freely. In some pieces, crystal and sequin embroidery adds radiant touches, enhancing the collection’s refined elegance.
