I wasn’t old enough to see The Devil Wears Prada in cinemas, but you can be sure that @Can you please spell ‘Gabbana’?” has been etched into my memory since the first time I watched it in my parents’ living room, alongside an unhealthy fixation on those Chanel boots.

That’s why I can’t stop thinking about the Dolce & Gabbana x Williams Sonoma kitchen and coffee collection. From statement toasters to some of the best non-toxic coffee makers, it brings a vibrant hit of colour into the kitchen, with (dare I say) cerulean blues and white Mediterranean motifs that feel entirely Miranda-approved.

The range spans everything from Bialetti moka pots to coffee grinders and storage tins, offering something for every kind of coffee ritual. It’s a playful yet polished way to nod to a cult fashion classic at home – perfectly timed as we wait for the long-anticipated second instalment.

Not all of us want to plaster our homes with movie merchandise, and few of us have the budget to fill our wardrobes with the designer pieces we are sure to see in the upcoming sequel to The Devil Wears Prada.

That is what makes the Dolce & Gabbana x Williams Sonoma kitchen collection feel so appealing – it blends practical investment pieces with beautiful design. Plus, if you catch the subtle fashion references, it is a guaranteed way to start each morning with a smile (and never a catastrophic pursing of the lips).

The pattern itself mirrors motifs used on several iconic Dolce & Gabbana designs, including the recognizable Dolce & Gabbana Sicily Handbag, which retails for over $3,000 for the small size. The Williams Sonoma collaboration offers a more affordable – and practical – way to bring the same signature pattern into your home.

For the coffee lovers, the Bialetti side of the collaboration is a must. Comprising the best mokka pot money can buy in three- and six-cup sizes, a stunning stainless steel and glass French press, matching espresso cups, and the coffee gift/storage tin, it is a delightful way to start each morning, delivering quality coffee every time.

On the appliance side of things, SMEG's iconic retro-style essentials are sporting the summery look. The SMEG manual espresso machine (which we gave four stars in our review) completes your coffee nook, as does the SMEG electric kettle. Alternatively, for those who want to commit to the Mediterranean style, and for less than a Dolce Box Bag, there is the SMEG Fab 5 Refrigerator.

The truth is, no one can do what Dolce & Gabbana and Williams Sonoma can do. As Miranda Priestley would say, 'That's all.'
