Dolce & Gabbana: Off to the Races

The Tour de France is known for that famous yellow jersey, and now, Giro d’Italia has its own chic pink one thanks to Dolce & Gabbana. The duo designed a winner’s jersey for the Italy’s most prestigious cycling race that will run from May 9-31–and the entry list is impressive. Lance Armstrong has confirmed his participation in the multi-week journey. “An institutional symbol such as the Pink Jersey shall be respected,” said the designers of their involvement. “It cannot and shall not be distorted. And this is the reason why we customized it with certain historical details of the Dolce & Gabbana style, such as the tricolor bands and the effect of the superimposed jerseys, leaving untouched the base which is well-known all around the world.”
