Dolce & Gabbana's Spring/Summer 2024 Show is a Blend of Elegance and Allure
Dolce&Gabbana reaffirms their desire to return to their roots, embracing lace, bustiers, garters, and enticing slit-adorned suits for their Spring/Summer 2024 collection.
The Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2024 collection, aptly named "Woman," graced the catwalk with a lineup of superwomen, including Vittoria Ceretti, Maria Carla Boscano, Irina Shayk, Ashley Graham, Natasha Poly, Stella Maxell, Mouna Tougard, and the incomparable Naomi Campbell.
This collection is a masterful exploration of tailoring, shapes, proportions, and a timeless black-and-white palette. It delves deep into the storied history of the Italian maison, drawing inspiration from Sicilian heritage with a blend of black lace, alluring transparencies, and impeccably crafted lingerie peeking from beneath. Meanwhile, oversized pinstriped men's jackets, reminiscent of the 90s when Madonna herself pioneered their style, provide a striking contrast.
The iconic "Dolce Jacket" graces the runway in three enticing iterations: short, medium, and long, each paired with skirts of corresponding length, featuring daring side slits revealing Parisian dresses and garters adorned with golden hooks. The tuxedo jacket undergoes a transformation into a mini-dress, fastened provocatively under the armpit, revealing delicate lingerie underneath.
Balancing seduction with discipline, the collection introduces white and polka dot patterns on ethereal, translucent dresses, accentuated by contrasting schoolgirl collars, echoing Victorian influences. Another highlight is the pristine white satin bustier worn with a gracefully flowing train, famously donned by top model Maria Carla Boscano at the Venice Film Festival, alongside meticulously tailored outerwear boasting pronounced shoulders and an impeccable cut.
Following the monochromatic interplay of black and white, the collection pays homage to another timeless classic: leopard animal print. Spring/Summer 2024 embraces vinyl trench coats and sheer, alluring overcoats, offering little or no concealment, celebrating the allure of transparency. The show culminates in a sensational finale, with Naomi Campbell gracing the runway in a transparent bustier dress, captivating the audience with her unmistakable presence and stride.
