This was a fashion rewind. All the Dolce and Gabbana classics were reworked for AW23, a lineup of delicate lingerie pieces and great tailored evening coats. The brand’s tailoring has always been excellent from the very first shows we attended and today is still so strong. We like that they looked to their heritage from the ‘90s and a wealth of ideas from the Noughties, too. Naughty yes. This was Stefano and Domenico hunkering down into the DNA of the brand, a deep dive of what made them great and stand out from the rest. The collection was called Sensual and this was bullseye Helmut Newton territory, with spindly patent heels, sheer stockings, slicked hair and red lips. Straight up Monaco.
