DOLCE & Gabbana have wowed Milan fashion week with a fresh and innovative Sicilian-inspired collection. The collection featured intricate wicker bustiers, baroque-sculpture shoes and colourful beach prints.
Models sashayed down the runway to Domenico Modugno's song "Wonderful", a hymn to the summer sun and sea, wearing satin, striped one-pieces in the candy pinks and blues of beach umbrellas, worn with foulard head-pieces and earrings.
The day-time sea-side feel continued with flat sandals and bags shaped like holiday lunch-boxes, while black polka dot dresses were perfect for nightfall.
Designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, whose collection received rapturous applause even before the catwalk was over, said their colourful dress prints were inspired by "the famous puppets of Sicilian street theatre".
