Dolce and Gabbana launch T-shirt design contest with Kylie Minogue.

Dolce and Gabbana have launched a T-shirt design contest with Kylie Minogue.

Fans are asked to design a T-shirt inspired by the ‘All the Lovers’ singer’s ‘Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour’ with the winning design being worn by the star at a photo shoot.

The design will also be featured on websites www.kylie.com, www.dolcegabbana.it and www.swide.com and the signed garment worn by Kylie will be presented to the designer.

A statement on talenthouse.com explained how the winner will be picked, saying: “Kylie Minogue, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana will select the winning design from the pool of outstanding entries.

“The 50 top-voted submissions will be considered, but the winning entry may be selected from the larger pool of submissions.”

Dolce and Gabbana designed all the clothing for the ‘Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour’ which started in Denmark in February.

Kylie – who has had chart hits since her debut single ‘ I Should Be So Lucky’ in 1988 – recently said she felt the creativity of her elaborate live shows has had a direct influence on Lady Gaga,

She said: “I set the benchmark for Gaga. We’ve done it before, with all our creative shows, and now the new artists are following us.

“She inspires me and I love what she does. But we’ve done it before. I had the Aphrodite theme and no one has done that before. Think outside the box is what I do, and that’s what keeps it fresh for me. I set the benchmark and now I can’t wait to see what the new talent will do next.”

The T-shirt design competition is open until May 11, with the winner announced on May 18.
