Elegant and soft suede Jeff Bezos

No VIC client enjoys their brand as much as those at Dolce & Gabbana, who came out in force this season to rub shoulders with K-pop stars and the filthy rich, in a dynamic menswear show.

There are many great tailors in Italy, but none of them celebrate success more joyfully than Dolce & Gabbana, which this season managed to combine super silhouettes with sass, sex and smart finishes.

In total, 62 looks presented to the rich and the slightly mischievous: of the super billionaire Jeff Bezos, his wife Laura Gonzales and their son Nikko Gonzales, a somewhat spoiled guy who walked the catwalk in a soft black crepe double-breasted suit. And a huge Asian pop star component. From Korea: Rowoon, RPD Ian, Younghoon, Hyunjae. From Thailand: Force, Book Kasidet.

Titled 'Sleek', this Autumn/Winter 24/25 collection was one of the most inventive expressions adapted in Milan in many years. The duo developed some new capes/blazers and capes/tuxedos in lightweight tapered shapes; or cabin-style tuxedos that shouldn't have worked but seemed like a must-have.

Organized like all Dolce & Gabbana shows within the brand's Viale Piave show space, where this season a double staircase allowed the models to climb to the center of the catwalk, as if they were entering a grand ball or an elegant nightclub.

A collection composed of 80% black, with touches of pale gray, silver and only two denim items. Ideal for the evening or when gentlemen must brave weather like last week's sub-zero continent. D&G offers some mega Klondike coats, now made from surprisingly convincing faux fur.

Before the show, patrons milled around hugging one another in metallic gold, silver and copper tuxedos, filling entire rows of seats. A symbol of how the long and steady decline of magazine power has meant that seats once reserved for editors are now taken by customers.

It's backed not by rock, but by moody piano music, like Martin Arteta's 'Past Lives', and culminates with two fantastic final looks. A noble black model with a spiky afro dressed in a black spencer, pleated pants, silk sash, white duelist shirt, and slippers with ribbon tassels.

Followed by a young patrician with hair slicked back, dressed in a playboy miniskirt and a white shirt with an Etonian collar. He thinks Domenico Dolce is going to Downton Abbey.
