On Saturday in Milan, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana returned to do what they do best, a very defined collection with Dolce & Gabbana DNA, whose common thread was femme fatale & roll.
No designer anywhere can create as much sizzle as Domenico and Stefano, even when creating a collection that was 90% black. Gamine girls in dozens of lingerie looks, finished off with berets and headdresses, with their hair up in buns. A whole society rather of French coffee. Pretty good all in black.
A show where the crux of the matter, despite all the lingerie, was superlative tailoring. Bright new flowy tuxedo and messy jackets; micro tuxedo with extended sleeves; dramatic funeral home coats; noble lady coats. Until we reach a fabulous cavalry officer's hussar jacket, combined with black silk panties, a sash and endless legs.
Never in the history of a major league fashion house have so many pairs of stockings and bras been displayed on so many girls. Let's talk about the burial of quiet luxury.
All cut with powerful shoulders, offset pockets and bold lapel widths. No logo, but each look very clearly said “Dolce & Gabbana.”
Coffee society is great, the feeling of a beautiful woman in complete control going to meet her lover. Starring a gang of veteran superheroes like Amber Valletta in an impressive marabout pen that opens doors and grosgrain ribbon coat, fantasy bird look. Or Eva Herzigova as a beautiful gamine.
And there was cheering, applause and stomping at the end, when Naomi Campbell took the final step, shoulders swaying and dressed in a lace bra, stockings, a sheer slip and dominatrix gloves.
Before the designer duo took a bow to deafening applause, in the best example in some time of how designers are very true to themselves.
