Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana may have bid arrivederci to their D&G diffusion line this summer, but the design duo has carved out more work for themselves by creating their first ever range for children.
Designed with a 'profoundly Italian DNA' the autumn/winter 2012 collection will see Baroque-inspired clothes for little girls aged from 3 to 10 years old feature all the elements of the mainline Dolce & Gabbana collection - lace, crochet, tweed, polka dots and the brand's distinctive animalier print.

But that's not where it ends. Dolce's must-have handbag, the Sicily, toted by grown-ups Madonna, Carey Mulligan and Eva Herzigova has been made in miniature to complete little Miss Dolce's look. Oh, and did we forget to mention that underwear cements the offering?
Describing the design process as a learning curve, Dolce and Gabbana placed the emphasis of the range on practicality. "It's better to have sleeveless onesies and freedom of movement - kids don't want to feel too constricted" they told WWD, adding: "This is an homage to Italy and to our tradition. It's part of our culture and marks one of the most important moments in our lives."
Newborns aren't ruled out of the style equation either - with a range for 0 to 3 year-olds also under way.
Little gentlemen meanwhile, need to not run for the nearest Gap Kids for their post-school garb. Cashmere cardigans and reversible jackets guarantee to keep out the seasonal chill, while three-piece suits, bow ties, velvet jackets and silk scarves mean Master will never be without anything to wear to the ball…
The new collection is set to hit stores at the end of July.
