As much as I dislike the finale dresses, I'm oddly drawn to them.

I hate when that happens.

 

[visconti]

I like a few of the pieces in the all black section, but I couldn't keep from laughing when they switched to the maudlin ballad when the awful grand finale dresses emerged. If anything, I thought the music would get BIGGER to show them off.

 

[stilettogirl84]

this is what Vogue.com had to say about the collection

TOP TEN FASHION MOMENTS

1. Sex. Sex. Sex
2. Dominatrix dominance. None of this insipid pastel fairy nymph nonsense
3. High ponytails, last seen in Madonna’s Blonde Ambition tour
4. Perspex
5. Nude shoes. It’s the new barefoot
6. Steely make-up
7. Looking like a frightening b*tch
8. Kylie on the runway
9. Dark shades for summer
10. Gym membership. You’ll need it for all the short, tight silhouettes next summer

there were a few looks I liked-

these

(pics from vogue.com)

everything else was too short, or too shiny-
and the last array of evening looks were vommit-worthy

 

[Laska]

I really love the collection, Ofcourse on the ordinary woman these designs might not look so great but on the runway on these girls it looks fabuluous, bold and sexy!

All the rave: Awesome excess

Suzy Menkes International Herald Tribune
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2006


MILAN 'SexyBack' by Justin Timberlake blasted out of the speakers as power women dug spiked shoes into the Plexiglas runway, plastic corsets cinched black-clad bodies and fireworks of color and pattern exploded across the translucent set.

The pop singer summed up a spectacular Dolce & Gabbana show that crystallized in its devilish references to sexual provocation, S&M and to the towering designers of the newly fashionable 1980s just what is right and wrong about the Milan spring/summer 2007 season. The clothes may be provocative and striking, but all the references are looking back to find the future.

The workmanship and energy that Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana put into their show Thursday was breathtaking, from the shiny belts that circled tiny waists above short skirts, to denim worked with patent leather. Then there were the evening extravaganzas, where multicolored prints spread over butterfly wing sleeves.

Bathed in silver, touched with "Gold" (the name of the new restaurant the duo opened in Milan this week) and with shiny bags and vast buttonhole flowers, the effect was of awesome excess.

Yet from the powerful mêlée, where black and silver morphed into hot color, any fashion aficionado could have traced the roots of the ideas. They go back not just to the '80s club scene that is again all the rave, but also those triple titans of tough chic: Azzedine Alaia, Thierry Mugler and Gianni Versace. (Throw in John Galliano as a reference for a sculpted silver body piece that was somewhere between medieval armor and Marie Antoinette's panniers.)

Plenty of designers have been in on the 1980s revival, with its heady hedonism and dark undercurrent. But the design duo did it well. Their sassy little Alaia- esque dresses with short light skirts, or their calf- length dresses, fitted with multi-seaming, were of scrupulous workmanship. The latter, at least, was an interpretation of the Sicilian style that is Dolce & Gabbana's fashion homeland.

But where were those deep roots that have always given the collection its Sicilian sensuality? Compared with recent shows of romps in the southern Italian hay or even last season's witty riff on Napoleon and Josephine, why would such powerful designers move so far from their base? The 1980s revival is not enough of an excuse to reach back into the archives of other designers and muddy your own identity, especially when you have such a heritage.

[Mr. Fabulous]

Oooooh wow. hmmmm....

 

[cavanaugh]

the grey knee length dress & the black mini dress above were my two favorite looks from the collection

 

[uberwench]

Horrid.
Why did they put Stam in that nasty penis-shadow armour?

 

[kevinnn]

As much as I dislike the finale dresses, I'm oddly drawn to them.

I hate when that happens.

Oh man, me too.

 

[TheGlassAngel]

^ I kinda am too....most of them are rather hideous....

 

[cheiby11]

I don't like most of it... either too plastic... or overdone...

 

[eternitygoddess]

After looking at all the pictures, I have to say: it's f*cking ugly.

 

[Lena]

their d&g collection was much better
this was a mix from gaultier, Pucci , Gianni..
and too winter (for me that is)

 

[Dkammern]

this is the one and only thing i really really like from the whole collection:



(vogue.co.uk, as above)

just what i was thinking... this dress and probably the bags, a jacket, ¿shoes?...
i liked a lot more D&G this year

 

[kuba01]

I don't understand why the girls were making weird movements during the last part of the show? It kind of scared me because some of them were doing really obscure things. lol

 

[anglinggg]

haha Stam did the turn that Tyra does on Americas next top model, sooooooo No comment... I liked the D&G sooo much more.
