"Enchanted Sicily" was the title of Dolce & Gabbana's ready-to-wear collection in Milan's Fashion Week. The scenery of the enchanted forest and Tchaikovsky music playing during the show, framed really well the storytelling and the title Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have chosen. Secret garden, fantasy, Little Red Riding Hood and all these fairy tale elements gave a playful atmosphere, however the Italian luxury and the sophisticated elements of the house couldn't be missing. "Naive, yet powerful " is a contrast that made everything even more interesting.
The innocence of the Little Red Riding Hood in rich fur hoods and capes, followed by embroidered capes with owls, swans and flowers. And also the elegant notes of the flowing silk jersey dresses made an exquisite contrast with the army-like dresses that appeared in the finale. Silver and black jewelled cocktail dresses, with matching flat-soled thigh high boots and hoods gave a stronger, more powerful feeling, contrasting naivety.
Keys were the "key". A secret garden always has a key. Golden keys were printed on capes and dresses matched with t-bar shoes. Dark green, red, black, silver and gold were combined all together, giving a medieval notion. The all black classic outfits that established the Dolce & Gabbana's fashion signature walked in between, like "pauses" to the storytelling, either to underline it or just to stand out for themselves.
Hair and make up were not crossing over the line of simplicity. Especially hoods, that had the first word in the show, wouldn't allow any eye-catching hair style. Low messy braids and make up in natural tones, all harmonized in the concept of the show.
Fun, light spirit and playful notes is what everyone needs and the show accomplished that. A greatly given storytelling with many matching and contrasting materials bonded all together in a luxurious way. Hoods and capes will certainly draw the attention this fall.
