Dolce & Gabbana Celebrates 10-Year Collaboration With Italian Soccer Team


It was love at first sight between Dolce & Gabbana and Italian Serie A soccer team TISI +0.84% AC Milan, ever since the start of their collaboration in 2004. The Italian designer duo made up by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, has designed everything from team jerseys, to formal suits for the Italian athletes. A novelty in honour of this 10-year anniversay, is the Sicilia fit,which is part of the newly designed suits. That is, the previously thin lapel that used to define AC Milan its former Martini suit, has now been replaced by a wider, peak lapel model.
The three-piece suits are made of anthracite black wool, with red piping on the inside. Indeed, no coincidence here, as red and black are the Milan-based team its signature colours. The team its brand new official suits come with a crisp white button-up, plus silk jacquard tie in  a boardeaux shade. Since shoes make the man, those designed for AC Milan’s new Dolce & Gabbana attire, come in Italian-made calf leather with matching belts.
