Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2011 | Milan Fashion Week

Embrac­ing fiery red and rich furs for their fall 2011 col­lec­tion, Dolce & Gab­bana infused their prized Ital­ian machismo with a youth­ful zest. Shak­ing up their usual cast­ing with a vari­ety of faces, the design­ing duo put on dis­play a myr­iad of influ­ences. From the clas­sic musi­cal styling of Bryan Ferry to the label’s ongo­ing fas­ci­na­tion with the work­ing man or a spunky take on tomorrow’s scholar, Dolce & Gab­bana impressed with vel­vet, color and an end­less amount of charm. Round­ing out the col­lec­tion with pin­stripes, braces and wingtips, the label put a cool new spin on the mar­riage of old and new style motifs.

No doubt out­fit­ting fall’s hero, orange, red and bur­gundy added a pleas­ant touch to fan­tas­ti­cally belted num­bers that felt alto­gether mas­cu­line, while res­onat­ing a soft qual­ity to be admired.
