i know everyone has tired of this bent in their presentations lately, but i love that they're concentrating on doing what dolce and gabbana does best. they experimented around for several seasons with mixed results. this is the stuff we love them for. with collections like these they separate themselves from the houses that depend on trend and flashy presentions -- like houses with lesser years in the game -- and moving themselves into the fashion bedrock with other worldwide houses that give us what they do best every season like armani, prada, gucci and others.
