For The Fashion Conscious,

this store is a must,    


 set within a 16th-century palazzo in renowned Roman square Piazza di Spagna, the Dolce & Gabbana store has been decadently designed by Paris and Brazil-based studio Carbondale to reflect "a city synonymous with magnificence and uniqueness",

 "Rome is a baroque city built by artists and architects such as Francesco Borromini and Gian Lorenzo Bernin – their creations are vital and characterized by a hyper-reality," explained the brand,

 "The designers wanted to bring to life this baroque inspiration in a contemporary way, with modern materials and techniques."

 mosaic appears in the store's 22-metre-long "grand room" where small pieces of gold, red and Burgundy stone have been used to clad two huge domes in the ceiling,

 this is complemented by the accessory display plinths and clothing rails, which are crafted from brass, and the scarlet-coloured walls and velvet sofas, the floor and peripheral structural columns have been covered with 15 different types of marble,


other spaces in the store have been completed with rich walnut surfaces and Murano glass chandeliers, in case you think this store is unique, this is the fourth Dolce & Gabbana branch to open in Italy's capital, joining another store in the city centre and two more in Rome's regional airport Fiumicino, now that's what you call shopping in style!
