Chic Cycling in Milan: Dolce & Gabbana's 2012 Fashion Bicycle

Yesterday, during Milan Design Week during the Salone del Mobile, I was invited for the launching of Dolce & Gabbana's new limited-edition leopard print bicycle inside of their boutique Spiga 2.  Along with other fashion-industry insiders, we rode our bikes throughout the city, dodging the crowds and arousing the curiosity of bystanders.  It was a hot event, and lots of fun.  Back in the boutique we took a virtual trip to the Sicilian roots of Dolce & Gabbana by drinking a well-earned glass of fresh lemonade.

50 of these handmade and individually numbered Dolce & Gabbana bikes will be for sale in several of their boutiques around the world.  So go check them out to see for yourself.  Beyond its undoubtedly fashionable appearance, I can assure you that the ride was smooth and comfortable, even on the rocky Milan cobblestones!

Before leaving, I was given a couple of cool Dolce & Gabbana lipsticks to try as a thank you, and I will be writing a review of them here soon on The Chic Trotter, so follow me for more info!

Thanks a lot to D&G for the invitation!


Ieri per la settimana del design durante il Salone del Mobile a Milano, ero presente al lancio della nuova bicicletta leopardata di Dolce & Gabbana in edizione limitata.  Dalla boutique Spiga 2, io e le altre invitate fashioniste siamo partite per fare un giretto per le strade della città, schivando la folla e destando la curiosità di tutti presenti.  E' stato un evento molto cool e ci siamo divertiti tutti.  Al rientro in boutique, abbiamo fatto un viaggio virtuale alla Sicilia di Dolce & Gabbana, sorseggiando una ben meritata limonata fresca.

50 biciclette numerate saranno disponibili in tutto il mondo nelle loro boutique, quindi vi invito ad andarle a vedere.  Vi posso assicurare che oltre all'apparenza decisamente fashion, l'andamento era morbido e confortevole anche sui sanpietrini di Milano!

Prima di congedarci, mi hanno regalato un paio di rossetti di Dolce & Gabbana e a breve ne dedicherò una recensione sul blog, quindi seguitemi per saperne di più!

Grazie mille a D&G per l'invito!
