When Dolce&Gabbana models say it in 3 words

Stefano Gabbana, Domenico Dolce and Dolce&Gabbana = a magic triangle, described by catwalk stars.




This June, Stefano and Domenico are celebrating 20 years of menswear creative collaboration, on this occasion it seemed relevant to figure out how the Dolce&Gabbana Man is perceived today. Who better than Dolce&Gabbana models to describe the role they take on when they run down the catwalk. "Strong, elegant, sophisticated" seems to be the common answer from big catwalk names such as Natasha Poly, David Gandy, Garrett Neff, Heidi Mount, Luis Kelling, Jonathan Kevin Sampaio, Miguel Iglesias, Vlada R, Luca B and Cory Bond.
Define an iconic menswear brand like Dolce&Gabbana in just three words proved to be a difficult exercise… We need more than 3 words… A book, maybe, to describe a brand that manages to combine sex appeal and sophistication, casual and elegance, classicism and eccentricity.

2022, a Qatari eco-friendly Football World Cup?

With the South African 2010 World Cup approaching, Swide took a quick look at the State of Qatar's proposal for 2022.



Following the countdown to the official 2010 World Cup kick off in South Africa, Swide has decided to jump into the future and to land in 2022, the year when the State of Qatar hopes to host the FIFA World Cup. The Middle Eastern country will base its pitch on extremely advanced and eco-friendly technology.

In twelve years time, the State of Qatar could be the first Arab country to host a football World Cup thanks to its incredibly avant-garde stadiums built with no budget constraint and showcasing the latest in terms of technology.



While this time around it will be all about the 3D TV broadcasting games thanks to an agreement signed between the FIFA, Sony and the Sky UK network (www.tecnocino.it/articolo/mondiali-2010-calcio-in-3d-ecco-le-partite-di-sony-fifa), Albert Speer & Partner GmbH are working on a few Qatari projects focused on eco-friendly futuristic installations with an aesthetic touch.

Unveiled recently at the "Sport Accord" conference held in Dubai, stadiums in Qatar will be almost completely covered by solar panels meaning that they will be almost energy self-sufficient. The referred stadiums are the Al Rayyan Stadium 20km northwest of Doha, the Al Gharafa Stadium in the capital, the Shamal Stadium in the north, the Al Wakrah Stadium (to become a sport center) and the Al Khor Stadium (with capacity for 45,330 spectators).



The temperature inside the stadiums will be controlled and should not exceed 28°. The outside walls will be clad with LED screens showing huge live images of the games played inside the stadium.

This is just a small taste of what should be on offer on the Qatari technological menu, let's wait and see what the FIFA final decision will be in December this year.
