Your Friday French Fashion Report: Dolce and Gabana Menswear Collection for Spring 2012



Moving past, (with great difficulty) the hotness of the models and the sensuality of the music, the menswear collection by Dolce and Gabana for Spring 2012 is full of must haves, from the timeless elegance of a well made suit to daring see-through shorts! Trousers are slim, sometimes cropped, and the palette is muted. Earth tones are on the horizon for 2012, look for grey, tan, and slate, and accent with splashes of pumpkin, mustard, and plum. Man purses are getting larger as well, ("It's not gay, it's European!") which is fabulous for us girls - now they can carry more of our stuff and look good doing it. The casual look is dressed up with the marriage of Bermuda shorts and wing tips, and dress shoes are worn without socks (as the Italians are wont to do). Also shown were a selection of interesting jumpsuits, which evoke images of a chic groundcrew for some fabulous gay Air Force, and a new take on fishnet shirts - an open weave that on the runway looked damn good, but translated to the Jersey Shore? I'm not so sure. However, the slim pant is always groovy, always Italian, and trending.
