Italian design duo Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana said farewell to their 26-year-old diffusion line D&G yesterday, with a spectacular closing show at Milan Fashion Week. Moments after the show had finished the attendees received an email telling them that S/S ’12 was to be D&G’s last collection, as the designers wish to focus all their energies on their main line, Dolce and Gabbana.

The younger sister to the Dolce and Gabbana main line, D&G has long been a firm favourite amongst the wealthy youth (think heiresses and movie starlets) for its upbeat, fun collections. But don’t shed any tears too soon – the designers have insisted that this decision isn’t a sad one. The brand will become a part of Dolce and Gabbana, and will live on in their main line collections, lending them some of the diffusion line’s buoyant energy and fun.

Far from being a swansong finale, D&G went out on a high note, with the same upbeat attitude it is known for.
