Dolce&Gabbana and Cathedral angel

D&G  traveled  to  mosaic  decorated  churches  across  the  Italian  isle:  to  Cefalu  Cathedral,  the  Pala:ne  Chapel,  La  Martorana,  and  the  Duomo  Monreale.  These  Byzan:ne  mosaics  were  made  by  ar:sans  around  the  years  1100-­‐1200,  during  the  reigns  of  Sicilian  Kings  Roger  II  and  William  II.    

Dolce  &  Gabbana  sampled  liberally  from  many  areas  of  the  church  including  royal  adornment  (crowns,  jewelry),  Clergy  vestments,  ceremonial  instruments  (accessories,  gilt  things),  gold  ornament  in  general,  and  the  mosaic  stones  themselves.
