Nic Moore’s growth and leadership leave lasting impression at SMU PATRICK ENGEL Sports Columnist pengel@smu.edu It’s a Friday afternoon in January at Moody Coliseum and SMU is preparing to play Memphis. SMU head coach Larry Brown is running his team through plays. He has the team run a particular play that is designed to get a layup by finding a player cutting to the basket. The team runs it the first time, not to Brown’s standards. He gathers the team around the free throw line, telling the players how to run it properly. The huddle breaks with Brown’s instruction to run it again. As it’s breaking, Nic Moore chimes in. “Little things, little things,” he says, urging his teammates. SMU runs the play again. This time, it earns a “good job” from Brown. Later in practice, Brown is deciding how he wants to defend one of Memphis’ frequently used plays. He is debating having two defenders switch once Memphis sets a screen as part of this play. He consults his point guard. “That’s too long a run. Think he can do that?” the Hall of Fame coach asks Moore of one of the defenders. Moore responds with a yes. Brown tells the defenders to switch. The next day, SMU beat Memphis, 80-68. The Tigers shot just 32.8 percent and made five of their 20 3-point attempts. Moore scored a game-high 22 points. He played with an injured shoulder that kept him out of practice earlier in the week. “He’s become everything you’d hope a senior would be,” Brown said after the game. “He hasn’t surprised me at all. Nic is what you want your seniors to be.” The next week, senior forward and Moore’s close friend, Markus Kennedy, offered similar praise. “He’s turning into Coach Brown a little bit,” Kennedy said. “Coach Brown barely calls plays anymore.” Under Brown’s tutelage, Moore has grown into one of the nation’s premier point guards. He is a finalist for the Bob Cousy Award, which is given to the best point guard in

college basketball. He is a two-time firstteam all-conference selection, the reigning American Conference Player of the Year and the leading scorer on the last college basketball team to lose a game this season. He has led SMU in scoring in each of his three seasons. But while Moore continues to rack up individual honors, spark SMU’s offense and relish his role as a leader, he doesn’t want the attention on him. He isn’t one for instigating trash talk on the court or for fiery pre-game speeches. That hardly means he doesn’t care. “Those accomplishments, that’s just part of the game to him,” Moore’s father, Michael, said. “He doesn’t brag about it. He just loves to play the game.” Moore, the youngest of three brothers, has played sports since he could walk. Michael likes to say his youngest son was raised in the gym, but Nic played baseball, football and soccer as a youth as well while growing up in Winona Lake, Ind., a town of about 5,000 residents located 120 miles north of Indianapolis. Michael saw a leader and competitor in him long before anyone else did. He said the traits are natural, but are also inspired by being an athlete and by an offcourt passion. Inspired by his grandmother, a teacher, Moore spent a lot of time working with special needs children in high school. “Kids seem to get his heart,” Michael said. “The kids cling to him.” It’s part of Moore’s natural ability to relate to people, which, helps on the basketball court. Just as children are attracted to him as a leader, players are too. “He wants to perform for them,” Michael said. By the time Moore was in high school at Warsaw High in Indiana and had started the recruiting process, his leadership and competitiveness became clearer to many around him. It’s one reason why then-Illinois State head coach Tim Jankovich knew he wanted to sign Moore. He saw a player who could make an impact as a freshman, but was also an advanced competitor and leader. “From the day I first really saw him and really started to coach him, I’ve never been around a better competitor or a guy who wanted to win as badly,” said Jankovich, now SMU’s associate head coach.

Moore signed with Illinois State in the fall of 2010. As a freshman in 2011-12, his 10 points per game ranked third on a team that reached the Missouri Valley Conference title game and went two rounds in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). He made 39 percent of his 3-point attempts to go with a team-best 3.9 assists per game. In his first college game, he led the Redbirds with 13 points in a 55-47 loss to Fresno State. “He surprised his freshman year, in his first game,” Jankovich said. “I started to see the things like his will to win, his fight, how badly he wanted the ball when it was late. All those things that are really unusual from a freshman. He exceeded what I thought from day one.” Five weeks after Illinois State’s loss to Stanford in the 2012 NIT, Jankovich accepted the head-coach-in-waiting job at SMU April

26. Moore immediately decided to transfer. Indiana, Purdue, Illinois and Notre Dame were interested in him, but Jankovich’s presence and the opportunity to learn from Brown were to much to pass up. Jankovich had earned Michael’s approval long ago. “When he came to see Nic and talked to me, he didn’t seem like he was reading off a script, so I knew he was genuine,” Michael said. “And the rest is history.” For Jankovich, who made the rare move down from head coach to assistant coach, Moore’s move was special. Leaving Illinois State was difficult for Jankovich, but the equally rare move of a player following an assistant touched him. “For him to reach out and say, ‘I want to come where you go,’ that meant the world to me,”

Jankovich said. The transition wasn’t easy. Coach Brown demands a lot. Moore had to sit out the 201213 season, per NCAA transfer rules, which Michael said “killed him.” He led SMU in scoring in 2013-14, but seniors Nick Russell and Shawn Williams were the team’s locker room leaders, a role Moore wasn’t quite ready to step into. “He [Coach Brown] was tough on me at first, because he wanted me to be able to run a team, to see if I had that in me, to be the best point guard I can be,” Moore said. After Williams and Russell left, Moore grasped the role. His leadership shined again. He kept producing big game after big game, carrying the team when it needed a spark. His big plays in important moments became routine, not surprising. “[I sometimes think], there is going to be one of these nights, surely he’s not going to have it,” Jankovich said. “I’ve yet to see that one. He’s gone past what I can imagine. He’s the greatest competitor I’ve ever coached.” Moore and Kennedy have won 78 games in their three seasons at SMU. SMU had never won 20 games in three straight seasons before they arrived. This year’s SMU team won the most regular-season games in program history. This year, SMU earned an AP top-10 ranking for the first time in 31 years. Simply put, success has become normal at SMU. When SMU went 15-17 in Brown’s first year, in front of sparse crowds at old Moody Coliseum, few were thinking of success. But Moore and Kennedy were. “We just knew what type of players we

are, how much love we have for this game, our compassion, to be able to change this,” Moore said. “We kind of knew we’d have this turn out.” Moore, Kennedy, and forward Jordan Tolbert played their final home game March 3 vs. Connecticut. Their illustrious college careers ended when the buzzer sounded March 6 at Cincinnati. For Moore, it’s a career that not only includes awards, but overflowing praise from those who watch him. Opposing coaches praise his basketball IQ. Brown praises his development. “My admiration has grown every day,” Brown said. “Every time I see him play, I gain more and more respect for him.” Michael Moore says his son will value being the coach on the floor, being the leader and being the unselfish teammate more than anything else. He will cherish the unique family bond the team has built. When asked about his most memorable moment, the younger Moore mentioned his game-winning 3-pointer vs. California that sent SMU to the 2014 NIT Final Four. But he couldn’t truly narrow it to one shot, one game or one award. “Just to be able to change the culture, the community status of SMU basketball and just being able to be a part of that, it’s just great for every game,” Moore said. Life without Moore, Kennedy and Tolbert will be hard for SMU, even with the culture of winning they created. That’s especially the case for Jankovich, who has known Moore for so long that he admitted Moore almost feels like a member of his family. Yet Jankovich admitted one solution to ease the feeling of loss. “Hopefully,” he said, “we’ll be watching him on TV.”

A banner reading “THE END IS NOW” hangs from the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house. The photo was featured on the Greek site Total Frat Move.

Gamma-Sigma chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha suspended by nationals KYLIE MADRY Contributing Writer kmadry@smu.edu The Gamma-Sigma chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha at SMU has been suspended by the national office. The Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity Board of Directors announced the decision March 14, and the closure will last a minimum of five years. According to Director of Communications Tad Lichtenauer, the suspension immediately makes all active members inactive and they may not represent the fraternity, display any of the fraternity’s emblems or symbols or gather as a fraternity. After graduation, the members may apply for alumni status in good standing. “The Board of Directors took this action in response to multiple operational and new member incidents that violated the oaths and rules of our fraternity,” said Director of Chapter Services Nick Zuniga in a press release.

The fraternity is ending its claim as the longest continuously running fraternity on campus after its installation in 1921, though this is not the first time Lambda has had conflict with the national office. In 2010, headquarters expelled 35 of the 92 active members and an additional 14 resigned after a membership review. The chapter had been put on probation by nationals and deferred probation by SMU after incidents with the chapter’s philanthropy “Watermelon Bash” event. As a message to headquarters, the chapter hung a sign Monday afternoon from the upstairs windows of the house. The sign originally said “THE END IS NEAR!,” but was changed to say “THE END IS NOW!” Many of the fraternity’s members also shared the post on Facebook. The Lambda Chi Alpha–SMU page also shared the post with the sentiment, “They didn’t even take us to dinner first...” No members of the SMU chapter have agreed to speak on the record to the SMU Campus Weekly.

Sigma Phi Omega, a sorority of the Multicultural Greek Council is hosting S.A.F.E Week this week. S.A.F.E., which stands for stop abuse in family environments, is usually held in the fall semester. The organization decided to hold a S.A.F.E. week in the spring to promote their national organization’s philanthropy year-round. “We want to raise awareness all year not just the fall,” Nicole Song, a member of Sigma Phi Omega, said. The week will include three events: a toiletry drive, bake sale and an arts and crafts night. The toiletry drive was held Monday and Tuesday at the west side of the Hughes-Trigg Student Center from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Items accepted were toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and deodorant, to name a few. Sigma Phi Omega also be accepted monetary donations. The bake sale was Wednesday at the same location from noon to 2 p.m. featuring Pastries from Nothing Bundt Cakes, Trailercakes, and Creme de la Cookie for purchase. The arts and craft event took place Wednesday from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the promenades in Hughes-Trigg. This

event was a painting workshop; messages of encouragement were drawn and donated to the families of the Genesis Women’s Shelter. All proceeds from this week will also be donated to the Genesis Women’s Shelter. “I hope to raise $300,” Song said. The Genesis Women’s Shelter is dedicated to helping families that have suffered from domestic violence in addition to preventing violence by raising awareness.

It’s OK to be mad about SMU’s loss at Cincinnati, but not forgetful of the season PATRICK ENGEL Sports Columnist pengel@smu.edu Recency bias. It’s not a problem exclusive to stock market investors. Sports fans can easily fall into the recency bias trap. A bad team earning an impressive win can make fans forget about the team’s mostly poor performance on the season. On the other side, a good team playing poorly and losing a game can make the largely good season forgettable. SMU needed a win for its second straight American Athletic Conference title, but lost at Cincinnati in its final game of the season. SMU learned more than five months ago that March

6, 2016, was its last game of the season, meaning a conference title was all it could play for once its undefeated dream ended Jan. 24 in Philadelphia. Add that Cincinnati’s Fifth Third Arena was the only AAC venue in which SMU has not won a game, and SMU’s motivations for winning the last game were pretty clear and strong. But SMU played a mistake-filled game and lost. Cincinnati shot 29.5 percent from the field, made one of its 19 3-point attempts and had two field goals in the last 12:08 of the game. The odds of winning with such numbers are extremely low, but not when the opponent (SMU) commits 17 turnovers, allows 30 free throw attempts and shoots only three free

throws in the second half. The logical fan reaction is disappointment and anger. That’s OK. SMU, a largely experienced team, made uncharacteristic, self-inflicted mistakes in a critical game. SMU, which assists on 61.5 percent of its field goals, picked a bad game to boast a 10to-17 assist-turnover ratio. Freshmen Shake Milton and Jarrey Foster, who were thrust into playing major minutes all season, picked a bad game to have freshman moments. Being frustrated or even mad when a team that is usually poised in key moments doesn’t perform in a key moment is understandable. But, allowing that frustration or anger to wipe out the trends, memories and production of the entire season would be succumbing to recency bias.

SMU may not have won the conference title, but it did win the most regular-season games in program history. SMU won at least 20 games for the third straight year, earned an AP top-10 ranking for the first time, won 13 conference games playing with seven scholarship players and were the last undefeated team left in college basketball. When Temple beat SMU in January, its fans stormed the court. Temple has more than 1,800 alltime wins. SMU made its first NCAA tournament in 21 years just a season ago. One rough game from two freshmen shouldn’t cast doubt over their ability to develop into star players. Nor should it cause anyone to disregard the progress each made during the season. Milton

started 23 games, averaged nearly 33 minutes per game because of SMU’s depth issues, played two positions and was SMU’s fourth-leading scorer. SMU head coach Larry Brown repeatedly called Foster the team’s best perimeter defender. Neither is done learning or developing, but each was still critical to SMU winning 25 games. Sunday was a missed opportunity. It’s OK to be mad about those. SMU is the top-ranked AAC team in both the RPI (11) and KenPom (21) ranks. It’s disappointing that the team ranked 22 spots ahead of any other AAC team in RPI didn’t win its league. But falling into the recency bias trap would make all of SMU’s impressive work to earn those ranks forgotten.

Disney’s newest animated film “Zootopia” isn’t just for 5-year-olds or Disney fanatics. The film takes place in a world of anthropomorphic animals where predators and prey exist in harmony. It follows a rookie bunny cop who teams up with a con-artist fox to unravel the mysterious disappearances happening in the city. Woven throughout the movie is the idea of overcoming stereotypes. Whether it’s that a female bunny can’t be a tough cop or that a fox will always trick others, the movie insists that people can be anything they choose. The tensions between predator and prey clearly

10 reasons to watch ‘Fuller House’ Every ’90s kid and “Full House” fan was overjoyed when the news broke that Netflix was producing a sequel series to the beloved show that ran from 1987 to 1995. “Fuller House” continues the story of the Tanner clan 20 years after the show ended. The show premiered Feb. 26 and Netflix was flooded with eager fans that wanted to see how the show was remade. Critics weren’t crazy about it, but fans of the original show were overwhelmed with nostalgia and love for the sequel series. Here are 10 reasons to give “Fuller House” a try: 1. Past cast members come back The opening episode featured almost every past cast member from the show, even Blake and Dylan TuomyWilhoit, who played Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky’s twin sons Nicky and Alex. Throughout the season, Uncle Jesse, Joey, Danny and Aunt Becky make appearances, causing everyone to wistfully remember the 1990s. They even bring back Stephanie’s “husband,” Harry Takayama, from season 2 of “Full House” and D.J.’s old boyfriend Steve gets a larger role in the show. 2. The subtle jabs at Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen Michelle Tanner is the youngest of the three sisters from the original show and was played by Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. The twins did not participate in the reboot due to scheduling conflicts. Throughout the show the characters make pointed references to the twins that add

humor to the show. 3. John Stamos has not aged…at all Uncle Jesse is still great looking, with loads of hair and leather pants. 4. Max Fuller D.J. Fuller’s middle son Max is hands-down the cutest part of the show. He is funny, adorable and a little bit of a clean freak like Danny Tanner. Plus, he begs for a puppy and then viewers get to see a golden retriever puppy running around the set for the rest of the season. 5. Dr. Matt Harmon D.J. grows up to be a veterinarian and works with the very attractive Dr. Matt Harmon. This creates a love triangle between D.J., Matt and Steve. Fans have been picking sides by using either #teammatt and #teamsteve on Twitter. 6. References and flashbacks In the series there are flashbacks to episodes in the original show that fans know and love. Famous catch lines from the characters also come back, think, “have mercy,” “how rude” and “you got it, dude.” 7. Famous guest stars Famous celebrities guest

star in the show playing either themselves or other characters. Candace Cameron Bure’s “Dancing with the Stars” costars Maksim and Calentin Chmerkovskiy made appearances in an early episode with Macy Gray and San Francisco Giants right fielder Hunter Pence plays Stephanie’s boyfriend in one episode. 8. Addressing real problems The show addresses real problems that families have to tackle together, like infertility, death, divorce and loss. Writers and producers balanced it out with humor and successfully addressed some of the deeper issues that everyone has to deal with throughout life. 9. It’s edgy Unlike the original show, “Fuller House” references drugs, sex and drinking. There are also a few steamy scenes and awkward, unexpected kisses. 10. Season 2 On March 2, Netflix announced that the show would be renewed for season two. After less than a week, it became clear to Netflix that they had created a winner and America is not ready to see the Tanner/Fuller house go away.

KARA FELLOWS Assoc. A&L Editor kfellows@smu.edu

allude to the racial tensions in the world today. Also the interactions between Nick Wilde, a fox, and the police are clearly meant to mirror the racial tensions between police and citizens throughout the country today. Is this something that should be tackled in a children’s movie? Some might say no, that it’s too serious of an issue to be delivered in a movie. But maybe it’s also the perfect platform for a message like this. It’s a simple concept: Don’t assume people are a certain way because of stereotypes, and don’t feel like you have to act a certain way because of stereotypes. “Zootopia” brings home both of these lessons in a fun, engaging way. The twist and turns in

this movie will keep you on the edge of your seat. With a menacing mob boss, corrupt government officials and a cop who’s just trying to do the right thing “Zootopia” combines the recipe for a No. 1 crime show. And it feels like a crime show with every clue leaving you confused and curious right until the final reveal. Even if watching a movie featuring talking animals and musical numbers doesn’t interest you, give this movie a chance. The dialogue is witty. The jokes aren’t only targeted toward kids. The movie hits on real issues that affect all of society. “Zootopia” is not just a kid’s movie. It manages to package all that meat into an adorable, furry, crime-solving duo who will steal the audiences’ heart.

Editor’s advice on choosing major College is a multidimensional adventure: a synthesis of social, academic and extracurricular experiences that result in a period of extreme personal growth. While different people will look at each component of college with varying weight, I strongly believe that determining one’s college major is one of the most defining and important parts of the college experience. Your major hits all of the major elements of college. It influences who you meet since

you’ll be taking classes with those people, it dictates the type of classes you will take, and it can steer you toward taking part in certain clubs and organizations related to your field. And while your freshman

and sophomore years provide good opportunities to explore the different realms of academia and the various classes that SMU has to offer, it’s important to keep in mind potential majors you might pursue. Be intentional in making your schedule, and keep track of the prerequisites required for you to move from a “pre-major” to an officially declared major. Make sure you communicate semi-regularly with your advisor, and ask other people about their experiences and

their majors. Ask about the drawbacks, the professors and the other students in class. Most importantly, though, major in something you’re interested in. Don’t pick a major because it is what you think people want you to do or you think it will look impressive. Your major should be a reflection of your interests and your goals. It should reveal what you are passionate about and shed some light on what you hope to pursue after you finish college.

Polarized politics deeply divide America “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Abraham Lincoln spoke these words upon launching his campaign for the United States Senate. Polarization is again overtaking America as we debate the fundamental issues of our society. The ongoing presidential campaign has brought these fault lines to the surface. There have been rallies shut down because of protestors, as well as violence and punches thrown at others. Donald Trump supporters are veering toward the hard right while Bernie Sanders continues to gather supporters on the far left — both parties are split. Division seems to be the only commonality, along with anger toward the government. Supporters of Sanders, Cruz and Trump all share the feeling that the government has not been serving their needs as it should, but they differ in how it should be fixed. Indeed, this election is a missed chance at party realignment. If one candidate could have consolidated the anti-government sentiment of the supporters of Sanders, Trump and Cruz then that candidate would have had the clear mandate moving forward. This fictional candidate would have 1,393 delegates, if you add up the delegates of each of the candidates mentioned. This would already clear the 1,237 delegates needed to be the Republican nominee. Yes, they’re from different parties so this is not 100 percent accurate, but it serves as an approximation of what consolidating the anger in American politics could do. However, these three candidates’ platforms are so different that this will

likely not happen. Rather than the angry factions in America coming together to enact sweeping government reform and move forward, the two parties will remain divided among themselves and become further polarized. But how did Lincoln’s speech end? He

said: “I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided.” While he was speaking on the topic of slavery at the time, these words ring true to American politics today. Our current divisive trend is not sustainable — one of the many sides in American politics will eventually have to win. Which side will prevail out of our polarization? Will it be Trump’s radical right or Sanders’ socialist left? This election will possibly be a step toward answering that question. But until further developments, our political system will remain entangled in a fragmented, faction-ridden mess.

Blake Lively donned Western-inspired fringe and flannels at a Wyoming ranch for her August 2014 Vogue cover shoot.

Reinventing Western wear for the modern ‘cowgirl’ EMILY HOOPER Contributing Writer eehooper@smu.edu There's no denying the romanticism of the American West. Whether it’s Glen Campbell’s “Rhinestone Cowboy” or childhood games of cowboys and indians, the images of the Old West have taken firm hold in people's collective imagination, influencing American culture, values and, most visibly, fashion. Western fashions have been reworked time and time again – adapting to new styles and trends. While Western fashions were originally reserved for those working with livestock, today people can wear Western styles even if the only cows they see are served on a plate next to a glass of merlot. The original cowboy, the vaquero (literally meaning “boy who herds cows”), was the Karl Lagerfeld of Western style. Creating hand-crafted boots, jackets and chaps, the vaquero designed all clothing for functionality and durability. Even fringe, a popular 21st century trend, was created by the vaquero as a functional detail that allowed a garment to shed rain and dry faster when wet. Western wear in the fashion world has ranged from accurate historical reproductions of vaquero clothing to the garish rhinestonecovered, cleavage-bearing styles popularized by singing cowboys and cowgirls such as Gene Autry and Dolly Parton. Today, wearing Western clothing doesn't necessarily have anything to do with riding horses, roping cattle or eating beans out of

a tin can. Nor does it require getting triple D breast implants. There are Western styles students can incorporate into their closets that won’t make them resemble Annie Oakley or Dolly Parton. One place that provides luxury Western couture (minus the rhinestones and cleavage) is Double D Ranch, a fashion house in Yoakum, Texas. While each Double D collection is inspired by the beauty of the American West, it is also interpreted in a modern way, incorporating velvet, wool, suede and leather to create fresh ready-towear styles. “I know some people can be intimidated by the idea of dressing in Western styles. A lot of people believe that wearing one Western item will label them ‘cowgirl,’ but at Double D we sell items to women from all backgrounds,” Cheryl McMullen, the creative director at Double D Ranch, said. Alice Adams is a stylist and buyer for M.L. Leddy’s, a high-quality Western wear boutique in Fort Worth. She styles Western wear in a contemporary way, combining the modern world with the Old West. “The way people blend Western styles into their daily wardrobe is always changing,” Adams said. “Even women that ride in the rodeo are taking more contemporary approaches to their Western style.” Some call this modern Western style “Cowgirl Chic” while others call it “Urban Western.” Whatever the label, editorial spreads featured in such trendy and contemporary outlets such as Vogue, Marie

Claire, The New York Times: Fashion, Style and InStyle prove that Western fashions can be just as chic on a city street as they can in a pasture. In the January 2015 issue of Vogue, Kendall Jenner (probably the last person to be anywhere near livestock) modeled Westernthemed leather, suede and snakeskin styles. For the August 2014 Vogue cover shoot, Blake Lively wore Western-inspired fringe and flannels at a Wyoming ranch. Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Saint Laurent and Burberry (to mention a few) are creating sleek variations of old Western styles. Recently, The New York Times: Fashion and Style "Daily Bag" was a Westerninspired, camel-colored fringe Polo Ralph Lauren hobo. InStyle declared Western-themed belts the must-have summer 2015 trend after seeing Jenner and Selena Gomez rock low-slung silver and metal belts. And Valentino co–

creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri wore a pair of cowboy boots at the brand’s spring menswear show, making Vogue wonder if 2016 will be the year of the cowboy boot. Not to mention Jeremy Scott’s new collection at New York Fashion Week 2016, eccentrically titled: “Cowboys and Poodles.” However, students don’t have to buy Valentino or Saint Laurent to indulge in Western trends. Western-inspired styles can be seen almost everywhere. Liz Thrash, a personal shopper at Highland Park Village, believes Dallas is the perfect city to experiment with Western styles and give classic Texas looks an urban flair. “My advice to the modern woman is to invest in Western-inspired accessories such as turquoise, silver and pony-hair handbags,” Thrash said. For the woman feeling a bit bolder, Thrash recommends investing in a leather or suede fringe jacket to wear with jeans and a T-shirt. “Start with great accents and build upon that if you like the style,” Thrash said. “However, if you’re inclined to start saying

Though it was inspired by fairy tales, Dolce & Gabbana created a broad range of looks all incorporating signature styles.

Dolce & Gabbana tell a fairy tale ROBYN LANGLEY Contributing Writer rlangley@smu.edu Dolce & Gabbana had a stage set for a fairy tale at this year's Milan Fashion Week with a 2016 Fall/Winter Collection tailored to the modern-day princess of fashion. This girl is far from a damsel in distress. With a military flair, she’s ready to rock exaggerated silhouettes and luscious fabrics. From velvet, which is considered one of the top fabrics of the season, to fringed metallic and beading, the collection blended many different textures. It took a twist on the fairy tale theme by mixing it with military inspiration and street style trends. Though it was inspired by fairytales, head designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana created a broad range of looks all incorporating signature Dolce & Gabbana styles. Embroidered images of bejeweled mice, crowned frogs, the evil queen, teapots, nutcrackers, teddy bears and birds stood out

against bold patterns and classic prints. Elegant full lace ensembles mingled on the runway with military-style peacoats and patterned dresses, creating the image of a princess who does not need saving. A sheer gown embroidered with gold leafing, floral appliqués and a nutcracker paired with a bejeweled collar necklace was a notable look of the many show-stopping pieces. Signature styles like an off-the-shoulder little black dress helped ensure that it all still fell under Dolce & Gabbana's traditional aesthetic. This fantasy wardrobe is a well-rounded and elevated version of princess attire — from coats and jackets to suits and dresses all of various textures and assorted silhouettes. Some coats, such as those covered entirely in roses or teddy bears, may seem cumbersome and difficult to wear, but are artfully done and speak to the whimsy of the collection. Dolce & Gabbana ended the show by sending a glittery mob of more than 25 models down the runway in pink and silver dresses, leaving the crowd dazzled by a fairy tale.
