Strong-shouldered black wool coat with waistband over black lace slip dress

Sharp power-shouldered tailoring meets lingerie softness: a cinched black coat parts to reveal a lace hem, grounded by schoolgirl socks and lace-ups for a severe, romantic-gothic tension.

Traditions in the collection

Cultural influences →

5 of Dolce&Gabbana's 340 looks draw on a specific dress or craft tradition, as read from the photographs.

  • Turquoise and silver jewellery · Native American (unspecified) · Indigenous North America2 looks

    “Oval silver-toned buckle set with turquoise stones in a cluster arrangement on a leather belt, recalling Southwestern turquoise-and-silver buckles; Diné, Pueblo or Zuni workmanship plausible.”

  • Sicilian black headscarf · Italy (regional) · European folk & regional dress2 looks

    “Black triangular headscarf covering the hair and knotted at the nape, with a scalloped eyelet edge. It recalls the Southern Italian and Sicilian rural or mourning headscarf.”

  • Byzantine mosaic motif · Italy (regional) · European folk & regional dressLook 50

    “Gold tessera-grid mosaic print with central roundel of Christ Pantocrator holding a book, in the style of Sicilian Byzantine-Norman church mosaics (Monreale, Cefalù).”

  • Espadrille / alpargata · Spain · European folk & regional dressLook 73

    “Braided jute rope soles with ribbon ties wrapped and knotted around the ankle, like traditional Catalan/Valencian espardenyes; the uppers are reworked as perforated woven leather.”

  • Irish crochet lace · Ireland · European folk & regional dressLook 73

    “White cotton crochet with raised, dimensional flower and leaf motifs joined by an open mesh ground, the hallmark construction of Irish crochet lace.”
