Dolce and Gabbana Spring 2015
Supremely skilled design duo Dolce and Gabbana produced an impeccably glamorous Spring 2015 collection replete with spicy Spanish flavours enlivened with sensuous bewitchment.
Saturated scarlet starred on a jacquard, ornate baby doll dress. Silver and gold hearts ensconced in jewels added regal finesse. A black lace fluid skirt completed the look.
A crisp white tuxedo shirt was married to a cropped duchesse satin matador jacket with lavish black braiding detail. A matching waistcoat and knickerbocker accompanied the look.
A basic scoop neck, white lace tank was paired to a black bralet and high waisted, sculptural mini skirt, in ostentatious gold. White lace daisy motifs were emblazoned throughout with statement making crystals adding plenty of bedazzle.
A simplistic round neck tunic with bell bottom sleeve featured lustrous silver heart fabric throughout, romance reigning supreme.
Statement making vermilion rosettes were a dramatic hair accessory reminiscent of the headpieces donned by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and complemented a lace brassiere which was married to a transparent boned corset dress. A tiered, full circle ebony skirt brimmed with grandeur. Jewellery comprised of minimalistic gold cross necklace and gold drop black beaded earrings. Lace socks worn mid calf were paired to velvet Mary Janes.
The sloping shouldered, cocoon cape coat was revived this season in lady bug red and white carnation print. A decadent accession worn buttoned at the top of the neck and twinned to matching shift dress. A majestic, rigorously cut, white round shoulder, short sleeve jacquard dress was embellished with gold, red and silver hearts. A kitsch, flamboyant number with a mix of sass and sophistication.
Zhenya Katava modelled a striking, decadent, robust, gold peplum corset encrusted with dainty rosettes and rubies. A lace bralet peeked coquettishly from the top of the bust. A sheer, silk drop waist midi skirt with black scalloped lace hem and waistband was a grandiose, aristocratic combination. A jewel interlined crown graced Katava's head accompanied by vermilion rosettes.
Bold flamenco polka dots flourished on a high waisted tiered, voluminous skirt falling mid calf. The characterful skirt enveloped Sam Gradoville's physique. A lace bodice with subtle sweetheart neckline offered a splice of torso baring flesh.
A sheer aspirin dot maxi sheath featured round neck, long sleeves, gathered waist and blooming carnations embroidered throughout in the opaque shade of blood red.
A collection oozing of ingenuity, Dolce and Gabbana moved into new territory with this Spanish inspired collection leaving behind their Sicilian roots for a disparate display punctuated with vivacity.
