D&G Fragrance Anthology set for launch

All the excitement and kafuffle surrounding Milan Fashion Week, in which some of the most fabulous designer clothing labels in the world unveiled their forthcoming spring/summer 2010 designs, completely overshadowed another huge event in fashion.

You may or may not have seen the adverts that have been popping up all over the place over recent weeks - on billboards, TV screens and on the pages of glossy magazines - of some of the fashion world’s most iconic supermodels. Yes that’s right, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Eva Herzigova and co are promoting a new fragrance collection by Dolce and Gabbana.

While a new collection of five different scents may not be as big news as the design duo’s latest range of clothes to have graced the catwalks of Milan, the fact that it is the first ever fragrance bundle is pretty major.

The D&G Fragrance Anthology sees Stefano and Domenico follow in the footsteps of Tom Ford and Chanel, so to mark such a momentous occasion, it should come as no surprise that they have enlisted the help of some of the models that made them famous - and vice versa.

Each of the five scents in the collection is named after a different Tarot card, including Le Bateleur 1, L’Imperatrice 3, L’Amoureaux 6, La Roue de la Fortune 10 and La Lune 18. Explaining the concept behind the Tarot theme, fragrance expert Michael Edwards told Vogue: "You play your cards and the personality of each fragrance should reflect that there."

Will you be treating yourself to this new collection upon its launch on October 4th?
