Dolce & Gabbana Animalier Collection for Summer 2011


Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana present their signature colour cosmetic collection created with customary flair and brilliant artistry. A collection of superior modern classics inspired by the designers’ seasonal colour palette and directly influenced by the creative themes seen on the runway, Dolce & Gabbana salutes yesterday’s Hollywood’s distinctive glamour and their Mediterranean heritage as they define a timeless present with their irreverent spirit and determine tomorrow with visionary beauty.

Fashion meets beauty in the debut of Dolce & Gabbana’s inimitable Animalier as the sartorially sacred leopard print joins the colour cosmetic collection. Introducing the Animalier Collection, celebrating a signature symbol of a legendary design Duo’s heritage and capturing a spirit of irrepressible desire, impeccable luxury and the pure sensuality that is uniquely Dolce & Gabbana. Introducing an exclusive limited-edition bronzing powder, the Animalier Bronzer, summer’s ultra chic beauty accessory for ultimate glamour and smoldering sophistication.

“The Animalier reflects glamour like nothing else,” says Stefano Gabbana, “The feline sensuality, the refined yet decadent elegance... it represents so perfectly the inner desires and intimate passions of the Dolce & Gabbana woman. Like the lace and the rose, it is a seminal symbol of our past, present and future. It was very important to make it a part of our cosmetic collection; without it the collection would not be complete.”

“A bronzer is what spring and summer are about and there is no bronzer quite like the Animalier,” adds Domenico Dolce, “Capturing the essence of Animalier as this single beauty product was a magical metamorphosis - and in the process, it became an accessory as crucial as one of the Animalier bags.”

“The Animalier collection captures the narrative of the house from its birth to beyond,” says Dolce & Gabbana key collaborator Pat McGrath, “Interpreting the fashion DNA of the leopard print with the right beauty vibe meant the full-on Dolce & Gabbana treatment: brazen and really powerful yet soft and feminine. The Animalier bronzer, the heart of the collection, is absolutely brilliant - so gorgeous and it’s foolproof.”

Inspired by these classic and beloved rose gardens, the designers have further transformed the ‘100 petals’ scent (omnipresent throughout the lip products in The Make Up collection) to live as a modern formulation that evokes a euphoric sensory experience. Adding further nostalgia, when the lipstick case is shut, a special clicking sound adds a hint of intrigue.







The Look

The Animalier Collection honors one of the most timeless, revered treasures of the Dolce & Gabbana world. A profound element of daring modern glamour is transformed in an extraordinary alchemy to become a collection of exquisite enduring beauty.
