Through The Sea of Black — Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2009

dag2 Through The Sea of Black Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2009

Open­ing Milan Fash­ion Week, Dolce & Gab­bana are among the first to show. For inspi­ra­tion, Domenico Dolce and Ste­fano Gab­bana returned to their her­itage, open­ing the show with black and white images of Sicily. With the Killer’s lat­est sin­gle “Human” set­ting the tone, the pre­sen­ta­tion of cloth­ing took place against a bleak black atmosphere.

Dolce & Gab­bana pre­sented their typ­i­cal mix of for­mal, casual, and skin. Black, leather vel­vet, holdalls and the full-​​length coat.  This sea­son is all about the sophis­ti­cated man, leather coats and holdalls. Not to get lost in the sea of leather and vel­vet, the show picked up with the addi­tion of quilted trousers and jack­ets; an inter­est­ing idea, but not the best exe­cu­tion. The Dolce & Gab­bana show began strong, but lost momen­tum as sheen and col­ors like red, fushia and pink began to dom­i­nate the run­way. Spring 2009 is the sea­son of paja­mas.  This time around, the quilted look takes over.

    Hi, I’ve been vis­it­ing this site for a while now (love it, by-​​the-​​way) and I’d like to start leav­ing com­ments with the fall 2009 shows…
    Before I start : I’m 19, french, and dis­cov­ered fash­ion through Hedi Slimane’s work at Dior Homme.

    No need to say that Dolce & Gab­bana are far from what I like. Once again, this col­lec­tion is every­thing but pro­gres­sive fash­ion. It man­ages, as always, to be both macho and ultra-​​gay. Douchebags love D&G for a rea­son. I’m not gonna say more as I think that D&G are irrel­e­vant (like most ital­ian brands — except maybe Prada) in today’s fash­ion land­scape. The mod­els they chose really shows how they’re stuck in the 90’s idea of masculinity.

    Hello!

    I agree with so many of those sen­ti­ments. I strug­gle with my opin­ion of Dolce & Gab­bana though, because I feel like there is so much poten­tial that can be seen in their clean sim­ple pieces, but then Domenico and Ste­fano ruin it by cater­ing to their built in base that buy the most tacky, flam­boy­ant pieces they can. I was actu­ally enjoy­ing this col­lec­tion until the brightly col­ored and quilted pieces started com­ing out.

    I think the words ‘tacky’ and ‘flam­boy­ant’ you used are well-​​chosen.
    I also agree with the fact that they have poten­tial and they have par­tic­i­pated a lot in the “suit re-​​interpetation” and democ­ra­ti­sa­tion by mak­ing it ok to wear a suit jacket with jeans, for exam­ple.
    I also think that they make good footwear, espe­cially sneak­ers.
    But they ruined every­thing by mak­ing their brands too “bling bling” by over-​​using fancy fab­rics and expos­ing their logo too much (Ste­fano Pilati needs to watch him­self there too…)
    As for the col­ors, it’s just bad taste — that’s actu­ally the one thing you can’t reproach Kris Van Ass­che with — Maybe they should unite their strenghts…
    As for the quilted trousers and jack­ets : nobody wants to look like a big chanel bag!…

    LOL@ As for the quilted trousers and jack­ets : nobody wants to look like a big chanel bag!…

    HAHA.

    Unlike Daft­boy I was among the tragic ones who started to know fash­ion from D&G. Look­ing back at those days I cringe upon my taste and knowl­edge of fash­ion .I learned that after­all fash­ion is not just about bling bling, flam­boy­ance and LOGO a go go!

    This col­lec­tion screams yawn! I don’t really much dif­fer­ence from their pre­vi­ous collections.
