#TBT: Dolce's Idyllic Italian Summer

The mayhem of fashion weeks has finally died down and all is back to normal in terms of fashion. As the weather gets slightly better (not much better, but I'm trying to be positive here!) I wanted to draw attention to one of my favourite ever shows by two of the most talented men in fashion - Dolce and Gabbana. I remember watching this show and just falling in love with all the beautiful lace paneled pieces, summery mini dresses, flashes of leopard print and the overall carefree spirit of the collection. And lets not get started on the role callof famous models, back in the day whenmodels were models and not just celebrities. Lindsay Wixon, Joan Smalls, Natasha Poly, Lily Donaldson, Karlie Kloss, Constance Jablonski, Alessandra Ambrosio and Izabel Goulart.. the list literally goes on. The styling was also fantastic in this show, with all the earrings, necklaces and shoes matching the total look perfectly.

Inspired by a traditional Italian wedding, in Dolce's spring/summer 2016 show, most of the pieces were white, pure and virginal. Then you had the dramatic black corsets and the sexy cut out dresses which juxtaposed the rest of the collection. Floral embroidery sewn into lace skirts looked amazing, as did the encrusted crop tops and matching midi skirts. Every piece was absolutely exquisite and perfectly reflected how I view a classic Mediterranean summer holiday. Enjoy and dream of happy summer days to come...
