RUNWAY: Dolce&Gabbana SS17
Latin flair pervaded throughout
Dolce&Gabbana's Spring/Summer 2017 collection and the breath of fresh air from their droll and predictable Sicilian collections was much needed. The design duo showcased a collection full of prints and sequins that made brought a liveliness to the collection that made it seem new, fresh and exciting. However, the superfluous looks was quite unnecessary. The Dolce&Gabbana company is large and the might of the design team and their ability to cut, sew, and put together an excellent suit or a cool sportswear look is nearly incomparable to many labels in Milan but with over ninety looks, the collection seemed to be never-ending. How many pineapple printed jackets, shirts or caftans can one show have without it reaching ad nauseam? Wherever that number might be, this collection surely surpassed it. A good deal of editing would've made this fresh collection seem much fresher rather than showing more and more looks just for prosperity's sake.
