Dolce & Gabbana’s
Baroque Romanticism
.The mood was one of opulence and luxury at the Dolce & Gabbana Autumn/Winter 2012 show at the Milan Fashion Week as designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana displayed a collection of delicate lace creations, golden embroideries and rich velvet designs.
Coined “baroque romanticism,� the collection drew its inspiration from the tradition of Sicilian Baroque, which has evolved in volumes and processes, experimenting in new cuts and decorations. The collection also featured prints of cherubs and angels and embroideries made of small points inspired by dining room tapestries.

The Independent reported that severe but sumptuous black wool capes and dresses were encrusted with crosses and curlicues picked out in golden thread, mirrored beads and paillettes that recalled picture frames. Tooled silk and jacquard dresses, cherub-printed, tapestry blouses and sheer corsets complete with golden panniers will no doubt come in at a suitably princely sum.
Each creation was a reflection of intricate workmanship and detailing that, at times, appeared to have come out of a painting.
One of the most dominant themes apparent in the collection was lace. Apart from this, there were delicate, transparent corsets and white knickerbockers, velvet hot pants as well as floral print creations.

But the collection was definitely not a one-trick pony; there were dark and light florals, jewel-like gold and silver dresses, and colourful rose prints with infants so divine, they seemed to come directly from one of Michelangelo’s mural masterpieces

The stunning, versatile show ended with a beautiful bombardment of baroque. Style gold Embellishment, as seen during on the initial pieces. Overall, the collection was quite “Italian�-ized; the baroque-gold elements, the Michelangelo-esque infant prints, the almost-Mafioso-touch of black (particularly the black laceedged veils) made for a collection that every Italian-loving girl would kill to get her hands on (myself included!)
