Probably the best thing in Milan so far. I know it's quite early as this s/s 08 fashion has just begun and many promising collections haven't been shown yet but it was a real shock. Shock like a shock, not like shocking. Or say rocking. It moves, it rocks, it rules. And it's really amazing to see them remaining true to their style without being obviously repetitive. You immediately recognize "la griffe" D&G though the pices, the atmosphere, the style were this collection's own.
Shapes, movements but not only. Dresses are flying, hairdos are flying. Something magical, models often looked like wizzards in their long, long dresses. Much length, light fabrics, translucent textures and fuchsia color. It could have looked overloaded if everything wasn't so light, so delicate, shown by models walking as if they were flying.
I said "but not only". Because those dresses are just a part of the collection. Everything is linked though every single outfit has its own strenght and appeal. Men shirts and white skirts, fancy pants, patchwork all the way. Patchwork of textures on pants, patchwork of flower prints on tops, dresses. Belts, betls are worn the way they're lovely to watch. And to wear, there's nothing more fun than wearing a belt different ways, classical, quirky and let's move on. And jackets, love jackets, every jackets, I'm a jacket-monster. If I need pants there's more chance I'll buy another jacket. But those blazers are the epitome of what I call a jacket when I imagine it. Fitting the silhouette, tight enough and looking comfortbale (note that I feel confortable when I like the way I look, this notion can easily differ from one person to another), they're the touch, the extra touch on some outfits. And if even the less elaborate outfit just look amazing (on Suvi, tank top, fancy pants but in discreet color) I really fell in love with the three-dimensions-patters on Stam's dress. Inspiring. And shoes. Flats, sandals, gladiator-like. Perfect with the outfits and strenghtening the impression models are flying on the runway.

Each silhouette  is worked differently in terms of lenght and volume effects and manages to look perfect and perfectly integrated to the whole thing. Every model has long hair, like flowing in the wind, everyone wears  flat gladiator shoes, raw, which gives a unique, powerful walk, powerful yet  lovely, refreshing, as they all really seem to enjoy themselves, playing with the dresses and walking in this confident way, a bit childish and mischievous sometimes. The whole mix makes them look like wizzards, the flowing long hair, plus flowing long dresses longer behind, plus raw flats. Childlike empresses that turns into glamourous wizzards, the time of a runway moment, a breathtaking and unforgettable one.
