Women are the core. Women are the beginning. The message that the talented Italian duo sent to the Milan runway was clear. Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall-Winter 2023 collection revisits the early days of women’s clothing design through masterpieces transformed from the archives.
Dolce & Gabbana fall – winter 2023: original feminine magnetic flow
The lights gradually turned off, and in the dark space, the audience waited to see how Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana would “come autumn”. Welcoming them was the excellent ensemble of the Italian Opera village – Cavalleria Rusticana: Intermezzo Sinfonico. Pietro Mascagni’s music acts as a prelude, setting the mood for “Sensuale”. The collection, inspired by the inherently sensual beauty of a woman, continues the brand’s journey back to the Italian brand’s roots from the beginnings of women’s wear in 1985 to the early 2000s.
The gate opens, and from the white light is a classic design – the slip dress simulates lingerie. Dolce & Gabbana has been at the forefront of lingerie fashion since 1991, 30 years ahead of trendy catwalk trends. Their pioneering position was proven when they mastered variations with the concept of penetration, presenting dozens of different shapes with only lace, tulle, and silk. Moving to basic fabrics, the fashion house expressed its desire to break away from the hype trend influenced by social networks “We only weave from high-quality silk and wool, not using exotic elements. “.
This does not mean that the audience cannot witness the feats of design. While on the runway still appeared maxi dresses, and Swarovski rhinestones fit the vision of the past that Dolce & Gabbana set for “Sensuale”. Labeled “2007” on the sleeve, the brand says it’s a modern version of the jeweled dress Gisele Bündchen wore in Autumn-Winter 16 years ago.
Interwoven with sensual femininity is strong feminism in the form of spencer jackets, bombers, and blazers. The style of tailoring a suit sketched in an hourglass shape has never left the Italian fashion house’s catwalk. But this time, they develop the restrained and timeless mindset of the 90s replacing the impressive role-playing detail from a few seasons ago. The distinctly innovative rhythm compared to the 80s and 90s comes from the presence of oversized models like Ashley Graham. This a testament to Dolce & Gabbana’s design claim to be for everyone, regardless of shape.
Faithful to a heritage spanning nearly 40 years, the mysterious black color still dominates the runway. The minimalist DG logo bag was also released with 4 main colors.
Choosing to restore and refresh designs from decades ago, Dolce says the brand has seized a golden opportunity: “ Lucky for us that people are searching for old Dolce & Dolce models Gabbana at sky-high prices.” The Autumn-Winter 2023 collection of the Italian fashion house is expected to achieve commercial success when not only capturing the nostalgic fever of the fashion village but also respecting and honoring the inherent value of women.
