Milan, Italy – The idea of a modern man trendy and self-aware. This is the leading premise in Dolce & Gabbana’s new eclectic collection for Fall/Winter 2016-2017. And it is obvious that the house is playing on Italy’s historical fascination with spaghetti western aesthetics.

In the presentation, Dolce & Gabbana has decided to borrow an idea from the last women’s presentation. The models make selfies and film themselves from the catwalk. Again this is Dolce & Gabbana’s response to importance of social media in today’s consummation obsessed world.

On the catwalk one could see a diverse selection of silhouettes: all butch, manly and modern. The collection is multicultural, and has touches of many nationalities with the accents of westerns playing the main role. There are visible connections between the Asian and Russian markets.

One can find something to satisfy most needs. The garments are either solid in color, form and great for everyday. Or we find them as multi-detailed, decorated and over the top. The collection is rich with options including ponchos, denim, sweatshirts, coats, jackets, shirts, suits, polo, leather and off course the silk pyjamas. The accessories are an additionally strong point of the collection. They include suede loafers, snow boots, glasses, bags, socks, thin ties, bandanas, backpacks, boots and hats.

Many eye-catching details pop to the eye. There are the romantic roses, funny cats and wild west cactuses, horses, cowboys, pistols and horseshoes. The silhouettes are oversized or are tailored close to the body. The status symbol — the chunky men’s fur coats — are shown paired with slim fitting basic clothing.
