Milan Fashion Week 2023: Sheer glamour at Dolce & Gabbana with reams of sensual black chiffon, while Ferragamo went back to golden-era Hollywood fashion with sleek tailoring
- Kim Kardashian, K-pop’s Juno and Uma Thurman were just three of the celebrities that showed up for Milan Fashion Week’s big hitters Dolce & Gabbana and Ferragamo
- Maximilian Davis’ latest Cinema collection for Ferragamo harks back to the brand’s designs for heyday Hollywood starlets Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren
Designs in black dominated the catwalk at Dolce & Gabbana’s Milan Fashion Week show on Saturday, with the Italian luxury label offering plenty of dresses, suits and coats for women’s wardrobes next winter.
The duo Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana opened their autumn/winter 2023-24 show with a black sheer dress accessorised with a furry collar and black gloves.
Then came trouser suits and coats alongside sheer, and sometimes embroidered, frocks in lace, tulle and chiffon. Cropped black jackets and trousers were worn with white shirts and black ties in the collection called Sensual.
“Sensuality is an important aspect of femininity that has nothing to do with being sexy,” the two designers said in their show notes.
“Sensuality is intrinsically connected to an inner experience that makes women spontaneous and natural. Free of any fabrication.”
Dolce & Gabbana also had shiny gold and silver designs, including draped dresses and belted macs. Gold collars stood out on black lace tops.
