MILAN — Fashion house Dolce & Gabbana brought the spirit of a Mediterranean getaway to Milan Fashion Week on Saturday, unveiling a menswear collection crafted for scorching summer temperatures and leisurely seaside escapes.
Designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana set the scene with a video projection of a rocky coastline bathed in sunset light. Models moved through a runway space framed by columns evoking a sun-drenched Mediterranean terrace, dressed in everything from swimwear to flowing silk pajamas.
As the collection’s narrative shifted from dawn to day, the clothing followed suit — laser-cut suits, tunics, and relaxed trousers took center stage, all engineered to keep wearers cool while moving seamlessly from a city workweek to a weekend by the water. A standout piece among the accessories was a generously sized travel bag crafted from leather, suede, and raffia.
The looks celebrated the male form with short shorts highlighting muscular legs and open-knit tops that showed off the torso. Suit jackets arrived with distinctive upright lapels and creative details on the back, including panels that could be unbuttoned to let in a breeze.
The brand’s signature attention to craft was on full display in woven leather jackets, a texture that carried through to the footwear as well.
True to the label’s aesthetic, the collection leaned into bold embellishments — rhinestones adorned denim pieces, while more refined coral beading appeared on suits, shirts, and trousers. Religious imagery also wove through the lineup, with cross necklaces styled to resemble rosaries and icon-inspired prints featured on T-shirts.
The show concluded with a procession of models dressed entirely in white, delivering a clean, unmistakably summery finale.
Watching from the front row were Polish soccer star Robert Lewandowski, two-time NBA champion Kawhi Leonard, Italian actor Michele Morrone — known for Netflix’s “365 Days” — and K-pop artist Soobin.
