Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have launched 5 fragrances for their D&G line, targeted not at specific demographic, but a personality and based off of properties found in tarot cards.
For instance, of the more masculine scents, L’Amoureux, No. 6 (the lover’s card) has peppery top notes and a hearty wood finish, while Le Bateleur, No. 1 (the magician’s card) starts clean and citrusy before developing into a warmer, more heady blend.
The colognes launch exclusively at Nordstrom next week. $65 each, at Nordstrom.

YSL started it off in F/W, and D&G followed with S/S ’09-10, but I’m really not a fan of this printed/painted denim. What do you think?

This is Dolce & Gabbana? I’m with Obsessed With Shoes in the disbelief boat.
Their Fall 2009 shoe collection brings us chunky suede wedges, gold wedges with black ruffles, and just weirdness. There’s nothing cohesive about the collection except the gross shade of pink. The shoes don’t even have an ugly-cool vibe, or any real sculptural interest. Five bucks says Chloe Sevigny gets her toes in a pair soon and render them awesome? Please?
