The Italian duo makes use of daring prints to showcase love.
Designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana featured a vibrant Spring Summer’18 collection with bold statements in block capitals “D&G GIVE ME FREEDOM” and “I AM NOT YOUR SCAPEGOAT,” aiming to spread love across today’s young generation. Before the show Dolce stated backstage, “People use heavy words very easily these days. There is too much aggression. We think what the world needs is love—and for us, fashion is love.”
Once again, the Italian fashion house decided to cast insta-famous personalities to strut the runway, such as Anwar Jibawi, King Bach and Myles B. O’Neal. The designers revisited a common theme using playing card patterns embellished on tops and zip-up jackets. The entire collection was punctuated with red hearts, as well as animal-inspired prints used on coats and trousers.
There is no doubt that the two fashion gurus are still the masters of tailoring, as they remind us of how glamorous a pin-sharp suit can be; there were a tux jacket paired with a shawl collar in silver sequins and a classic black silk suit peppered with playing cards. The internet darlings also wore hand-painted jeans, printed pajama suits and oversized sequins king-motif T-shirts, including a set of patched double-breasted bomber jackets, plus tote bags came with exaggerated D&G logo hashtag handles.
