Two very different visions on a personal level when they agree that their company is involved: for Dolce & Gabbana is in fact the future of new media as evidenced by the launch of the new e-commerce site that debuts today worldwide (except in China where it will be launched on August 8) in partnership with Yoox.

The first to admit a parade of fashion bloggers, is the historical picture of the front row in September 2009, were also pioneers of the fashion show streaming on smartphones promoting free communication filters from the experts.
