this collection is making me go mad and NOT IN A GOOD WAY 
and people praising it is making me even more mad! of course i respect everyone's opinion, but this branding-obsesive idea of mine doesnt let me forget the fact that no much further than 3 years ago this picture below was their proposition for fall. and the night-gowns? these huge nightmares of unwearable, unbearable fabric monstrosities were inexistent!!
has the dolce&gabbana clientele lost their scalpeled-to-perfection curvy and delicious body and now hides behind layers and layers of organza? is this what the collection is about? they've changed Gisele Bundchen for what?... The Queen? (think last winter
ninja:
this is dolce&gabbana! it's not chrsitian dior! (it's not even marchesa!) and that's the thought i can't get out of my mind. it feels so terribly wannabe from them to pretend they are grand couturiers... and so it does for their all-time clients too!
everyone can do a nice dress. the real challenge today seems to be able to deliver not only nice dresses, but also pieces that show and express your individual identity. in the times when zara can reproduce almost anything that is shown in the runway, one should really consider what else can be offered. in my opinion, the only keys to success left for designers are quality and signature. and while most of these might be done in superior quality fabrications, they give this feeling that any other fairly skilled designer could have made them.
here's the pic... something to remember them by...

I don't see a problem with them doing new things. How are they supposed to grow as designers if they don't? Re-hash the same crap year after year? Come on...

oh, dont get me wrong
i love designers who reinvent THEMSELVES, but above all i feel that whatever new elements they introduce, they should always feel new and fresh and be able to bring new ideas with ease... stuff that you clearly see it's on their DNA
to me this brand had always represented this "i-dont-give-a-fcuk" lifestyle of luxurious clothes that were easily worn to... i dont know... a nasty party in Porto Cervo, a bottle of krug in one hand, a cigarette in the other, or the perfectly fitted power suit for an ambitious business woman with savage leopard lining inside, or maybe in a lavish shopping day in Corvara in the middle of the winter.
i am sure this sort of clientele still exists. the same people that would dress in cavalli, if he was still able to deliver decent clothes and shut his mouth from saying the awful things he's been quoted for... or even better, in gianni versace original designs (if the genius still lived)
what i dont like about their latest collections is that i just can't picture a random gisele bundchen in a satin animal print dress that shows off her magnificent body and her killer legs getting out of her limo and instantly being surrounded by photographers et al... and what's worse is that the reason why i cant see that is because i dont understand how the hell is she supposed to get inside the freacking limo with this bony structured larger than life dresses!!!

That dress on Suvi is PAINFULLY Lacroix.
As far as the rest of the collection goes...I'm not sure.
But all I know right now is that I HATE the soundtrack. Dolce & Gabbana always have the most obnoxious soundtracks ever (except for SS/ FW 06...I kind of liked those!).
