changes. dolce & gabbana

 The last two seaosns for Dolce and Gabbana were OBVIOUSLY a "back to the roots" approach to their collections. Its italian, sensual not sexual, and very much more realistic instead of fantasy. HOWEVER. Those words all spell boredom for me, and I will show you why.
  What Dolce and Gabbana did by changing the whole house aesthetics up in the mid 2000's  by removing the cliche 90's sexiness, and working around the woman's body,  ABSOLUTELY WORKED for the house. The clothes evoked a new hourglass shape that was manipulated season after season with the inspiration ( which was ALWAYS clear and played a big part in the collection, which is one key element I look for in collections, a THEME ). The woman was always strong and goddess-like, and it was always one of my most anticipated shows to watch. This is by far, the BEST collection from them, I've lost count of how many times I've watched this video.




What Dolce & Gabbana has done in the last 2 seasons is gone in a more traditional route, implementing more abstractly sensual clothing, with the normal tricks ( lace, floral, visible undergarments, looser skirts ) and taking away the houses previous ideas ( sexual feeling, corsets, hourglass shapes, tight tailoring on all pieces, strapless pieces, glamour).

All I gotta say is...I miss the seemingly already old Dolce & Gabbana.
