Dolce & Gabbana's Fall/Winter 2019-20 men's collection was unveiled in Milan on January 12th.
As always, the venue was the Milan Metropole. Before the show began, the blackout curtains rose to reveal scenes of the house's artisans going about their daily lives. The show began with a backdrop of the atelier where patterns are made, sewn, and fitted. The show also began with a tuxedoed MC (host) appearing onstage and explaining the models' looks as if explaining an haute couture collection.
The theme was "Italian elegance" from the 1940s. The collection featured a stunning 127 pieces. The MC began singing a tribute to Italy, mentioning Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Rome, Venice, Florence, Naples, Palermo, Capri, and Portofino.
One after the other, styles appeared that seemed to archive the DNA of Italian classics, with double-breasted jackets with broad shoulders and wide lapels, large chests, tight hiplines, and wide pants creating beautifully shaped silhouettes.
Beautifully draped black cashmere coats, shining white cashmere, white three-piece suits, vibrantly colored velvet, all-sequined jackets and pullovers, embroidered with traditional patterns such as herringbone and houndstooth, and gold brocade tuxedos - their techniques, based on craftsmanship that only they can express, seem to call for the resurgence of Italian fashion.
