“Like Alice tumbling into the surreal Wonderland at the bottom of the rabbit hole, the unsuspecting visitor steps out of the diamond-lit, lavender-scented balm of a lazy Italian afternoon and into—well, what exactly?” So asked Hamish Bowles, then Vogue’s European Editor-at-Large, upon his visit to Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana’s Portofino villa—or in this case, villas. The answer, Bowles concurred, lay somewhere between a ’70s disco and the set of an ’80s Dallas-esque soap opera. The property, whose rooms appear again here in honor of [the] Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2017 show, is unsurprisingly a maximalist overload. But its high volume of lush blooms, gilded elements, and Italian designs almost seem to foreshadow the company’s aesthetic in recent years.
