A cap and veil accompany practically every look, the collection revolves entirely around the tuxedo because - according to the two designers - a woman in a tuxedo "fascinates with her elegance, her ambiguity, her seductive strength".
The tuxedo - say Dolce and Gabbana - "is the symbol of the purest style.
For us, only style allows us to go beyond fashion: the simpler, more classic a garment like the tuxedo, the more perfect it is, that is, eternal, without era. But style - it is their lesson - must be affirmed, refined, renewed: today we can create a tuxedo several times, improving it and making it different each time. It
is by perfecting the essential garments that we have created our personal and recognizable style" .
And the collection is a demonstration of the many ways in which the most elegant of suits can be reinterpreted today: tailcoat and satin apron-skirt, lace pareo and silk shirt, waistcoat and Bermuda shorts, bolero and shorts, crystal jacket and skirt , but also in a velvet version, for men, with waistcoat and tie, like the one worn on the catwalk by Mariacarla Boscano, or even in a trench style, in feathers or fur.
"Designing a tuxedo - underline the two designers - for us means proposing a timeless elegance, deeply rooted in our sartorial culture.
It means giving women a classic wardrobe which, escaping the fashion of the moment, allows them to have more self-confidence themselves".
A reasoning that the two have pursued since the beginning: "We have always found our style - say Dolce and Gabbana - through women: ours are never abstract designs but clothes that live and move on a woman's body" .
And so do the nets, the veils and the lace of the transparent dresses, but also "the cuts that highlight the sensual forms", such as the jackets and waisted coats Bar model.
Everything - or almost everything - in black, with very small concessions of gold and crystals: "we love black because - explain the creatives - it affirms, draws, stylises. Everything becomes simpler, linear, sartorial: a woman in a black dress is a pencil stroke, a pure line. It represents mystery".
A beautiful endless mystery, which in the collection for the next fall winter is enhanced by a meeting between contrasts: "masculine and feminine, austerity and seduction are intertwined, leaving every woman - conclude the designers - the freedom to express her own concept of style ".
