Black once again rolled down the runway for Dolce & Gabbana’s men’s show in Milan on Saturday, in a tribute to both meticulous tailoring and noble Italian materials and heritage.
“It’s important to tell the story of the genuine elegance of handmade art, the art of the connoisseur — it’s facts, not words,” said Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana at the Metropol, a former cinema that is now the house’s headquarters.
Among the guests in the first series were Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his fiancee Lauren Sanchez, whose son Nico Gonzalez was one of the models.

“Today, everything comes from the art of couture, but there is good wine and there is cheap wine. For us, it is important to distinguish quality,” said the designers.
“Young people are turning to this style, they’re looking for stylish clothes,” added the duo, who just a few years ago created a menswear collection aimed squarely at the TikTok generation embracing the screaming colors of street style.
“If you want the next generation to be better than us, you have to give them a beautiful movie, a beautiful story.”
