This show from Dolce & Gabbana felt like a singer putting on a greatest hits concert, which is quite fitting as apparently this is their 25th year of working together. This seasons show is all about it returning to heritage, sartonalita - Italian style tailoring.
Titled, Sartonalita, Siciliantia, Sensualita, definatley was felt within their tailored leopard-prints, lacy underwear, flashes of colour, mix-matched prints with polka-dots paired with leopard print, and all strutted down the runway to a great musical score. Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman (not in person of course) provided the finale with ‘Come What May’ from Moulin Rouge – and was completely fitting.

The finale of over 70 models wearing a different variation of the classic Dolce & Gabbana black blazer was a fitting end to such a homage to their craft.
The end did get a mixed reaction on Twitter and Facebook – mainly because they thought a coat was their last look. But for me it didn’t have the glamour of a knockout frock, it had something much more – a seductive understanding of their heritage. I like the fact that they went with one look, replicated it and included all the models in it as Mr Joe said, “enrolment for the Dolce army”.

Obviously the pieces that stick in my mind are still the sexy corsets, underwear peaking through and the lacy numbers, and the mix-match layers – or the red personality pieces.
There was also these sock-boots, one piece heels with knitted socks that I absolutely love. One to add to my wish list.

Also when else will Ewan McGregor be part of a fashion show? For this they should be commended.
The livestream itself was a little distracting at times, too much backstage and not enough runway moments – maybe if they’d done a split screen like Gucci. But to be honest I was honoured to be able to watch an entertaining rush of fashion.
