Dolce & Gabbana F/W 06.07 Milan

to me it is another collection that takes STEFANO PILATO last winter debut as its departure point, however it is nice, luxurious & new theme at D&G.
 
love the shoes, i sooo can't wait to see them in stores, certainly on my list for next fall!!
 
I can definitely see some of the Balenciaga nautical theme from S/S 06 but it would call this Dolce e Gabbana collection a rip off of Balenciaga. As someone mentioned before I think DG took a theme, used it directly, and ran with it; while Gheguiere takes a theme and uses it as an influence or reference but not as an exact replica.

Nevertheless, I like a lot from this DG collection. It just looks good to me particularly the coats and trousers...and these boots are KILLER!

Love the empire dresses though a few of them are a bit much. Would've been better if they'd shown more restraint. I agree with Susie's observations.

I think it looks more YSL than Balenciaga.

YSL last fall spirt is still spreading everywhere, I wonder what is Stefano hiding for the next fall?? by the way where is Lena:blink: ? missing her wisdom point of view & judgment for what is showing now?

this collection is arguably the worst this season, it reminds me of an average retail store in the way they've put this together:

- a bit late on the military baroque trend don't you think? this opulence isn't for right now...just like a lower-priced retail store they are behind the times...

- a hodge podge of influences from balenciaga to...balenciaga:lol: it's not that they're rip-offs, but it's like a watered down version of a look...it's absolutely miserable that in order for the mainstream to understand a trend it has to be done by dolce & gabbana..

I agree with you about the Balenciaga influence ... but this is significantly different and pretty well done. What I really like about it is that it's *not* dark and boring! A lot of the proportions are really nice, and there's a lot of sexy buttoned pieces--but not in the often super-obvious D&G way. For them, I like it a lot. OTOH, some of it is really theatrical and costumey.

I think this is probably gonna make a splash, despite being late on the military thing (which after all was just a rehash of a trend we've seen before ;)). I'm just thrilled to see a bit of color and life ...

umm, balenciaga's last collection was the most expensive they've ever produced...
Price doesn't matter. I just find this to be more luxurious than Balenciaga although I KNOW Balenciaga uses better materials, maybe it's the warm color pallette versus Balenciaga's white, black and blue.
 
maybe, although i'd pick felted wool as a material of choice for a jacket, not ostritch..but to each his own

anyways, maybe i should have said 'richer'? even the way balenciaga used lesage embroidery was more sophisticated.
 
I love itI love It......
I love the jackets...I wanna have them!~~!!
I think this is one of the best show so far..
 
i dont understand why everyone keeps calling it balenciaga influenced when balenciaga would *never* have so much *stuff* all over their clothes. although it is toned down, it still looks "dolce & gabbana" to me...
 
I watched the video and loved this collection, particularly at the end how the models held their dresses. Very beautiful. :flower:
 
When I try and watch the video, I can only see like the first 15 seconds, then it stops...is this happening with anyone else? :unsure:
 
Im watching it on style.com and at the start of the show, it looks like Snejana jumps out of her skin :lol:
 
Almost all of the dresses are ridiculous IMO. If it makes Gemma ward look heavy...you know its not good.
