For Dolce and Gabbana’s FW 2013 collection, the design duo continued to draw inspiration from the island of Sicily. In the Sicilian province of Palermo, the Cathedral in the town of Monreale is considered one of the greatest extant examples of Norman architecture in the world; the interior of the cathedral is renowned for the exquisite mosaics lining the walls. Dolce and Gabbana payed homage to the cathedral, incorporating imagery found in the mosaics directly into their collection. The collection featured a clean, straight-cut top void of any embellishment apart from the printed mosaic depicting the Sicilian King William II offering the cathedral to the Virgin Mary.
