An extravagant male collection at Dolce & Gabbana<

(Milan) Le duo sicilien Dolce&Gabbana a présenté samedi à Milan une collection masculine toute en lumière et excentricité, fidèle à son ADN de strass, lamé et paillettes, comme pour chasser la déprime après les mois sombres de la pandémie.

The Metropol, a former cinema that has become headquarters of the brand, has turned into a temple of light for the occasion, as transposed in the native Sicily of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, inexhaustible inspiration of the brand.

This parade, the first flesh and bone of male fashion week that started on Friday, shone in all colors, in the blink of an eye to extravagant clothes of fashion from the years2000.

Printed poplin or jewelry effect shirts are brought to and open to unstructured jeans or low -waisted silk pants, mixing relaxation and elegance.

Flower kimonos, jackets with print leopard pattern or zebra or crystal ornaments, brocade, lace or satin: the two stylists honor the spirit of festive and folklore of their brand.

Parmi les accessoires, les boucles d’oreilles et pendentifs fantaisie dorés apparaissent comme des indispensables chez D&G, tout comme la casquette gavroche et des sacs colorés.

Light therapy

La collection printemps-été 2022 de Dolce&Gabbana a été intitulée «Light therapy», symbole du retour à la vie et à l’exubérance après une période grise marquée par la pandémie.The invitation card, a multicolored light tablet, had set the tone.

The reappearance of physical parades, "it is a strong message that testifies to the desire for recovery and the gradual return to normal life, safely," said president of the Italian fashion chamber, Carlo Capasa.

Like all the other spectators of the parade, handpicked, he wore a mask, and the distances between the rare places were carefully respected.

Only three of the 47 parades for the spring-summer 2022 season will take place in Milan until Tuesday are in the presence of an audience. Après Dolce&Gabbana, ce sera le tour de Etro dimanche et d’Armani lundi.

The vast majority of claws broadcast recorded presentations or short films on the dedicated platform for the Lachambre de la Mode, their own communication channels or even social networks.

Change of scenery

This was the case of Tod’s, who unveiled on Saturday a presentation plunging fashionista into the fiction of a safari universe of the colonial era, transposed under the sun of Tuscany.

A collection embroidered around nature but also of uniform, sometimes elegant, sometimes functional, revisited by the creation director Walter Chiapponi in a relaxed style.

The change of scenery is guaranteed, in explorer, paratroopers or Bermuda pants in light cotton or hemp, small camera bag, in khaki, beige, broken or brown shades, reflecting the natural tones of the bush.

Ermenegildo Zegna opened the ball of the parades on Friday, also in a digital format, with a collection, like Tod’s, the beautiful part in natural colors, combining shades of white, mineral green or soft wood.

Driver thread of the collection, freedom of movement, with fluid materials and volumes, light fabrics, associated with clean cuts, collar -free jackets, ample surgery and Bermudas and fine tail -stored city slippers.

Freedom of movement and lightness are also the watchwords of the new male collection presented by the Roman label Fendi, which displays a fierce desire to transgress the dress codes, without giving up elegance.

During a virtual parade on the roofs of the palace of Italian civilization which houses the brand's headquarters in Rome, the models display shortcuts discovering the navel and ample, relaxed linen jackets, all in pastel shades.
