For their Fall/Winter 2022 show Dolce&Gabbana invited guests to discover a new futuristic vision. Their image of Sicily and the iconic black that is synonymous with the brand are reinterpreted into the digital cyber world of the metaverse.
The show took on the form of a video game with models as the heroines as they marched down the runway. Dolce&Gabbana have been concerned with embracing the future and the Metaverse for a number of seasons now and this show reinforced that message.
The designer duo chose to use modern and technical fabrics that reflect the modern world and catapult fashion into the future. Iridescent surfaces, crocodile prints, shiny materials with eco fur, laminated, a new type of jerseys, and nylon are all examples of materials that have been taken to extremes in terms of image.
Proportions and silhouettes were taken to the extreme with a new sculpted and geometric silhouette where everything is amplified taking the lead. Classic D&G pieces take on new oversized forms and everything feels a little extreme. Iconic designers were reinvented with technical materials and feature new volumes.
There was a hint of masculinity with oversize shoulders and sharp lines, while typical feminine styles weren’t forgotten with dresses offering a new attitude. Combining the past and the future the designers took classic eighties elements and gave them an uber-modern twist.
The colour palette offered a lot of black, one of the house’s signature colours with flashes of bold block colour and metallic accents.
