Kylie Minogue Professes Her Love for her Dolce and Gabbana Handbag and Gown among Other Things
By Francis Sinclair

When it came time for Kylie Minogue to choose a designer to create her over-the-top frocks for her comeback tour, it shouldn't have come as now surprise that she went with Dolce and Gabbana. She's been caught by the paparazzi cantering down the streets of London with a Dolce and Gabbana handbag slung over her shoulder or a saucy little cocktail dress helmed by the pair for an awards event. The designing duo themselves praise Minogue as an “an eclectic and fabulous personality on stage.” They could also be referring to their designs, as well. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are more than just great tailors, but the designing duo is also a close associate of Kylie Minogue. Both have been on hand to support Minogue throughout her recent bout with breast cancer. Their gift to her was more than just a Dolce and Gabbana handbag: she was whisked away to their Italian sea-side home to recuperate, as well as, to escape the glare of the media's attention during her difficult year.

Good Friends, As Well As, Good Business Partners: The Relationship between D&G and Kylie

Now, that she's feeling better and up to performing, Dolce and Gabbana and Minogue have cemented their long-lasting relationship by announcing that they will be contributing to the costumes for her Showgirl Homecoming Tour which started off in Sydney, Australia in November of 2006.

One look at the designs the pair has created for the tour will let observers know that the costume changes will definitely be more complex and elaborate than just a Dolce and Gabbana handbag and a pair of pumps. Taking the theme of the show's title, the pair has created designs that show off Minogue's lithe, athletic body, while poking affectionate fun at burlesque, which is something that Minogue has often done in her concerts.

Kylie and Dolce and Gabbana: Historical Figures?

While it is a stretch to claim that a Dolce and Gabbana handbag or Kylie Minogue's hot pants are historical artifacts, the popular cultural impact of singer and the designers is not going unnoticed. Kylie: The Exhibit is an art collection that is including some of the outfits Minogue is most famous for, which also includes works by Dolce and Gabbana – for example, the exhibit does include a pair of hipster pants, that have belt buckles run down the seam from her hip to the ankle, and a silver mesh top; this was an outfit she wore for the MTV Europe Music Awards in Spain in 2002; so those hoping to see a Dolce and Gabbana handbag, are in for a lot more, as the designers are represented in outfits from concerts, videos and appearances. The exhibit is being shown in the Melbourne Arts Centre in Melbourne, Australia.
