Day 1 of Milan Men's Fall 2014 Shows Continued
At Dolce and Gabbana, the duo came out with a Norman inspired theme. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have been playing it safe with their Sicilian inspired themes over the last couple of seasons. And I’ve been a fan of this brand for quite some time, but for some particular reason, I felt this was not their season. They came up with beautiful prints – such as the Norman Kings that were sent out at the beginning of the runway – but it is the loosely fitted silhouettes that are not working if you understand. Half of the collection centered on thick embroidery and relaxed forms, but thankfully the other half was more reminiscent.
Prints were nostalgic as they came out the runway in my opinion. That’s what I thought at the first sight, but then I decided to take time to go over the collection again and imagine an average customer trying on one piece separately. It made sense for me, just not the way they paired it for the show.
Taking away those lazy oversized pieces, printed button-down shirts, fitted multi-color striped pants, and two silk printed pajama sets had potential. Fitted suits – pinstriped with colored lapels, printed ones, and final velvet numbers – and one silver embroidered jacket (shown above) were the highlight of this collection. This didn’t sound too intriguing did it? Thinking again, if this were made for a king's invasion, it'd be perfect.
