The
inspiration was fairy tales. Embroidered castles, silk mice, at least
seven dwarves and the White Rabbit’s pocket watch were embroidered,
tapestried and appliqued across irresistible classic Dolce & Gabbana
silhouettes – lovely 50s style fitted dresses and 60s A–lines. Star
pieces include houndstooth swing coats (very Cate Blanchett in Carol), jewelled,
Cinderella crystal shoes (or rather clear plastic, because even a Dolce
client would probably draw the line at glass), embroidered midi skirts
and frilled jumpers and the finale of 95 feather-light tulle-backed
sequin dresses. The silver one from the preview appeared without the
necklace. Even in fairy tales, less is sometimes more
.
