The charm, inspirations, and atmospheres of Sicily — which have shaped some of the cornerstone themes of the Dolce&Gabbana DNA, including slip dresses, silk foulards, lace, and crosses — embrace new influences and unfold within a contemporary, dynamic setting. In doing so, they outline a new facet of femininity.
A creative blend
Born from the synergy between Sicilian tradition and a contemporary spirit, the name of the new Women’s SS26 Collection emerges: Sicilian Street.
Its protagonist is a woman with a strong, sensual, yet playful personality — someone who enjoys expressing every facet of her character through her style choices.
Echoes from the past
Inspirations drawn from past creations — such as the Fall/Winter 2001 “New Hippies” runway show — along with references to the “grunge” atmospheres of the ’80s and ’90s, infuse the collection with a touch of irreverence, always balanced by a glamorous, relaxed, and, when desired, provocative attitude.
The result is a distinctive elegance with an innovative, cosmopolitan spirit.
Harmony through contrast
Playing with different inspirations, sophisticated long dresses brought to life with lace and floral prints are given a more relaxed edge through the bold design of buckle-adorned biker boots, the effortless attitude of frayed denim pants and cargo trousers, or the casual spirit of sneakers.
Sheer fabrics, strictly rendered in black — the leading hue of the entire collection, enriched by touches of color from the prints — engage in a dialogue with floating volumes, embroidered ruching, puff sleeves, and oversized cuts.
Lace adds contrasting inserts to tops or entirely defines the essence of the garments, contributing to the tactile richness that gives the creations a textured, material feel. Finally, the tailoring spirit comes through in tweed pieces, jackets with bijoux buttons, and knitted designs.
Together, these propositions embody an innate elegance that naturally embraces a casual, contemporary attitude.

Stylistic synergies
The bags – including Vittoria, My Sicily, and Marlene – remain faithful to the collection’s signature hue while offering different aesthetic and functional solutions to suit every taste and need.
The foulards, in addition to recalling Sicilian origins, become an integral part of the garments themselves, as seen in tops and shirts where they are incorporated into the very construction of their design concept.
Cross motifs take on a central role in necklaces and earrings.
Among the footwear, boots embrace the collection’s strong, urban character, emphasized by maxi buckles, while crystal-embellished jewel sandals introduce more luminous and sophisticated options.
Finally, ballet flats and slingbacks echo the same prints featured on the garments, and sneakers bring a relaxed touch when paired with dresses.
