Dreaming of a Dolce & Gabbana collaboration with H&M or Target collaboration? According to Domenico Dolce it's never going to happen. In a recent interview with WWD the designer insisted that the Italian design duo would not be following in the footsteps of designers like Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Lanvin and Versace.
Stefano Gabbana: [laughs] I ask him if he goes to mass to design collections...
Domenico Dolce: It's classic elegance. Elegance is always beautiful, contemporary and timeless. It doesn't have to be about the latest trend, or from a signature brand. Its forever. Recently, it's all "trusciume" [in Sicilian, cheap, trashy] — there's no quality, these fast-fashion companies churning out looks. People thought it was cool, but it's cheap. You can't expect quality at 20 euros [$27]. It's like good codfish at 5 euros [$6.70] -- how can it be? But it's not a matter of price. Elegance is intellectual; it's about good taste, the cut, proportions, quality, how you carry yourself.
Looks like Dolce & Gabbana fans will have to keep saving up for the real thing.
Earlier this year Dolce & Gabbana announced that they were discontinuing their cheaper D&G line to concentrate on their namesake collection.

As expected the red blue carpet at the Savoy Hotel in London was filled with fashionable A-listers for Monday night's 2011 British Fashion Awards.
Here's a look at a few of the biggest names who attended last night's big bash in style.
[Victoria Beckham wore a black halter backless dress with a pleated skirt from her fall 2011 collection. Sarah Burton wore a black dress to take home the "Designer of the Year" award. Stella McCartney wore a printed jumpsuit from her recent spring 2012 collection and Marc Jacobs suited up to present VB with her fashionable award.]
After a month of speculation... Diane von Furstenberg, the designer behind the bold-printed wrap dress, is teaming up with Gap to launch a childrenswear collection set to hit stores in March next year.
Diane's collection for the mega-retailer will include unisex garments for babies up to 2 years old, and clothes for girls ages 2 through 14. The fashion icon comments, "as a proud mother and grandmother I am so excited to create a capsule collection for children with the superstar retailer, Gap."
DVF follows a number of high-end designers who have recently collaborated with Gap, including Valentino and Stella McCartney. Stella's two kids collections for Gap last year were so successful that she launched her own children's line.
The Diane von Furstenberg for Gap Kids collection will be available in almost 30 countries, including Canada, in March 2012.

January 2010: Tavi's Front Row Hat Controversy
14 year old blogger extraordinaire Tavi Gevinson ( Style Rookie) takes her front-row seat at Dior’s Couture show in Paris wearing a massive hair bow courtesy of Stephen Jones. A reporter from Grazia stirs controversy after tweeting: "At Dior. Not best pleased to be watching couture through 13 year old Tavi's hat". Jealousy? Perhaps... but the tweet starts a fashion battle on front-row bloggers.
Stella McCartney welcomed baby #4 late Tuesday night via an emergency caesarean section at The Portland Hospital in London England. Daughter Reiley Dilys Stella weighed in at 8 lbs. Today mom and baby are doing fine and there are no health concerns.
This is the English fashion designer's fourth child with her husband Alasdhair Willis. They already have five-year old son Miller, a three-year old daughter Bailey and a two-year old son Beckett.
Congrats to Stella and her family!
London Fashion Week was interupted for a memorial service for Lee Alexander McQueen on Monday morning when family, friends and fashion's elite gathered at St Paul's cathedral to celebrate the life of the designer who died in February. The British Fashion Council cleared space on the official show schedule for the 70 minute service.
Prayers, tributes and remembrances were all part of the tribute to the designer. Among those in attendance were Anna Wintour, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Sarah Jessica Parker, Stella McCartney, Philip Treacy, Daphne Guinness and members of the international fashion press.
The order of service included an address from Anna Wintour and a performance by Bjork, who emerged from the Minor Cannon's Aisle dressed as an angel singing 'Gloomy Sunday'. Anna Wintour said that McQueen designed the "most exquisite couture dresses and at the same time had a real impact on how the world dressed". The Vogue editor-in-chief also told the congregation that McQueen transported fashion watchers "into a world of sensation where you could be shocked, repulsed or thrilled".

Stella McCartney ads are never typical and for this fall, the British designer has tapped British artist Barry Reigate to illustrate her fall 2010 ad campaign. Natalia Vodianova stars in the ad that was shot by superstar photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Here's a look at Stella's whimsical fall 2010 ads.

 The Target designer collaborations continue on south of the border... next in line... Mulberry! Mulberry's tree logo handbags are known to be a must-have accessory for every stylish British gal. The past couple of years Target has been coming up with some great cheap and chic collaborations with designers including Zac Posen, Rodarte, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, Proenza Schouler, Liberty Alice Temperley, Cynthia Vincent and Anna Sui. The limited edition capsule handbag collection will be available on-line and in most Target stores from October 10th through December 24th. It is still a few months away so we will have to wait to see if the collaboration holds up to the style and quality of Mulberry. Are you excited for the upcoming Target collaboration with Mulberry?
