Runway Report--Milan Fashion Week--Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2012--Photos + Full Runway Video!

Baroque, Religious, Lavish...oh and Flower Prints...

Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2012

I know that I'm a little backwards with my "Fashion Week" reportage here on my blog: I've already shown you two collections from Paris Fashion Week, which is occurring right now--but now I'm highlighting some collections from Milan's Fall/Winter Fashion Week, which happened about a week ago--prior to Paris. Anyhow, you get the point. So, now, here's the Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2012/2013 Collection from designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. The runway and surroundings--from the video--looked very opulent and lavish. The running themes were Sicily (where the designers are from), plus Baroque Religious traditions and the clothing of cardinals--transformed a la Dolce & Gabbana--for HOT sexy women! Capes and capelets were big, and so was the gold bullion embellishments--on just about everything. Colors: black, gold, (of course), ivory, multicolor flower prints. Brocades and jacquard's also were featured. And the gold "angelic" headband was the key hair accessory--I'm sure my TV Guide Network Fashion Wrap "style sister", Tabatha Coffey, would not approve!! (she wasn't a fan of some of those actresses on the red carpet wearing the headband--ex: Michelle Williams at the Golden Globes 2012).

Check out some of the looks from Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2012 plus the full runway video at the end of this post:

Nonna Chic

Farmer's Market Goes Couture: Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2012

Spring 2012 Milan Fashion Week just ended and one of the highlights was of course, the Dolce & Gabbana Show. As you know, D&G is finito, done. And with that, naturally there was lots of editorial, buyer and press interest on what designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana would show for Spring 2012. Here's a given: We know that Dolce & Gabbana really know how to play with a theme. They pick one and run with it. They might be holding a Campari with Soda as their running...but they're running nonetheless. You MUST watch the video (Below after the photos) to get the whole effect of the show. Let's just say that only Dolce & Gabbana could create a theme that could only be referred to as "Grandma Chic" or Nonna Chic!

Grandma's Here...And She's Looking for Cocktails: Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2012

For Spring 2012, they showed lots of printed EVERYTHING--from bra tops, pleated dirndl skirts, rompers, swimsuits, and Ladies-Who-Lunch sheath dresses and suits. There was also lots of heavy applique lace...

Sequin Ragazze: Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2012

And of course, LOTS of sequins, in every variety--from heavy be-jeweled ones to cluttered multi-colored ones. Sequins and LOTS of them, are a HUGE Spring 2012 Trend and they were right there! Front Row and Center! The accessories were also the Stars. Take a look at the crochet, lace and plastic pumps. No really, take a look, because the FIERCEST of Fashionistas will be, no doubt, wearing them next Spring/Summer:

And of course, there were the purses. I have a feeling that Domenico and Stefano sent their Design Assistants to peruse a whole lot of "vintage"/second-hand stores from New Jersey to Wisconsin--to find "inspiration" in these purses. They are so "old School" Church Lady"/Grandma, all that she's missing is her mini-bible from 1963:

Runway Report: D&G Spring 2012: Final Show and Final Collection!

Ciao D&G!

D&G Spring 2012

Days ago, during Milan Fashion Week, Designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana showed their latest Spring 2012 offering for the "lower line" D&G. They also announced that this would be the last season for D&G . According to the designers, D&G will now be merged with it's main signature line Dolce & Gabbana.

Designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, waiving "Ciao" to D&G

It seems a bit odd since from what industry experts say, it is a cash cow for the company. Many buyers were heard saying that in fact, they buy little of the signature line (or at least not consistently) but ALWAYS order EVERY season something from D&G. But the statement Domenico and Stefano released said that the move was in order to give "even more strength and energy to our collections".

D&G Spring 2012

This final collection was "Scarf happy". In continuing with the same scarf-print motif of their recent menswear Collection, the clothing was an explosion of The Foulard. It was very Versace meets Hermes meets Lily Pulitzer and so retro 1994 in its over-the-top in-your-face don't-look-for-solids here vibe. Frankly I don't see why Hermes doesn't do a Runway Presentation for their Ready-to-Wear shows just like this! I thought it was great! And so ON TREND since it's ALL ABOUT bold, colorful prints come next Spring/Summer.

D&G Spring 2012

There were mini dresses, bandeau tops, blouses, pajama pants, shorts, maxi-dresses, shoes: EVERYTHING had the SCARF Crazy Stamp.

D&G Spring 2012

I have a feeling that it will be a BIG hit when it hits the stores come next year and we will see LOTS of these prints on the red carpet...

MTV Movie Awards Red Carpet: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2011

Supermodel Animal...

Rosie Safari: Model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2011, 2011 MTV Movie Awards Red Carpet

Victoria's Secret Supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore a leopard printed Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2011 stretch silk fitted dress. On the actual runway, it was shown below the knee and with flat shoes. Thank God Miss Rosie chose to hike the dress up a bit---and wear it with heels (and I LOVE those heels!). Oh, and not wear that hat! In case you didn't know, it's ALL ABOUT Animal Prints for Fall and next Spring--and leave it to a Victoria's Secret Model to work it! Sexy. Hot.
