A story of timeless sensuality is the narrative Dolce & Gabbana tells for Milan Fashion Week in their Autumn/Winter 2023/24 collection. The focus? Pure beauty parading on the catwalk in lace, transparencies, chiffon, feathers and crystals. The common thread was the black symbolism of precise imagery resulting from the incredible heritage of Domenico Dolce and Stefan Gabbana.

The Imagery of Dolce & Gabbana

As it relates to experience, soul, attitude and sensuality is the imagery narrated by Dolce & Gabbana. Not to be confused with sexuality, the non-superficial concept of beauty is a restart for the Italian fashion brand. It is a classic ideal that is pure and timeless. Restarting in a new key from the beginning, the two designers introduce a magical world of nuances that amplify sensuality.

The Collection

Tailored garments of lace, silk, tulle, feather and other precious materials in black, white, red and gold captured the nostalgia of the late 1980s and early '90s. The new collection draws on the sensuality of women through internal experiences that make women natural and spontaneous. It brings to light the authentic inner woman celebrating iconic colors, weights, volumes and meticulously tailored cuts. Silk satin culottes, Chantilly lace bodices with sheer bras, spencer jackets with satin and wool canvas lapels, silk chiffon dresses with large curls, and double pence trousers of black silk chiffon were all pieces any woman would proudly procure as an addition to their repertoire. It was a show filled with garments that all women wanted.

The Rediscovery

The "Sensuale" Collection took the breath away from those who remember the '90s. The recreation for the younger generation awakened all who opened their closets to reminisce about the looks of the past. Silk blouses and laced underwear-outerwear pieces brought fame in the 1990s to designers. Every woman found comfort and sensuality wearing these garments, giving them a feeling of empowerment. After 30 years, these pieces still bring back that emotional state and will for the next generation.

The Culture

Nothing is more authentic than a barrage of models storming the runway in black lace, celebrating the 1990s appeal that made Dolce & Gabbana famous. The Italian brand wants to reset the classic codes and timeless pieces that remain with women throughout the seasons regardless of what is considered 'fashion.' They are looking for the natural aspect of beautiful women and imagery. The pieces allow buyers to purchase a vintage look without spending hours searching the depths of pre-owned luxury fashion. Each piece in the collection has a sewn label dating to the original article, bringing women back to the '90s and reintroducing the ideals that once were.

The Dolce & Gabbana Kardashian Presence

Kim Kardashian's devotion to Dolce & Gabbana dates back to her teen years. The young girl named her two dogs after the fashion duo. Sitting in the front row of the event, she exuded sensuality and was one of the earliest champions of wearing '90s fashion. Wearing an all-black catsuit embellished with a crystal bustier from her sister's wedding in May 2022, Ms. Kardashian inspired Dolce & Gabbana to feature vintage collections in their upcoming campaigns.
