The Italian fashion house's presentation at
Milan Fashion Week came shortly after Giorgio Armani announced
he would hold his show, due to take place two hours after Dolce
& Gabbana, in an empty theater without any press or buyers
present due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Some guests at the Dolce & Gabbana catwalk show could be seen
wearing surgical masks as they took their seats.
Designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana paid tribute to
artisans and craftsmen with the collection titled "Made by
Hand". Screens along the catwalk showed old black and white
video of tailors, cobblers, leather cutters and knitters at
work.
"The past and the authenticity are linked to the future through
a new interpretation/translation of the 'handmade'," the duo
said in a statement.
Dolce & Gabbana dressed their models in comfy cardigans, knitted
shorts and bralets, and thigh-high woolly socks.
But glamour was also present in the form of sensual corset
dresses and see-through skirts and shirts, with sparkle often
added to black.
Bags were big and often twofold. High-heeled shoes were paired
with stockings or thick woolly socks. Laced-up boots of varied
heights offered a more casual option for the Dolce & Gabbana
woman.
Feminine features and flowers were added to sharply tailored
suits, with red roses also twirling around and above white
shirts and dresses.
Set to the songs of the late Amy Winehouse, the presentation
featured a total of 121 looks by the hard-working design duo.
