Dolce And Gabbana LOVE

Dolce and Gabbana show Milan Fashion Week

These past few weeks have been awash with fashion show after fashion show after fashion show in the greatest cities in the world showcasing the greatest designers and new season looks. I've found myself dreaming of the clothes, all of them different and amazing in their own right. This week, it was Milan's turn, Italy's culture capital and the host to many fashion events, not to mention fashion week.  Out of the abundance of collections my favourite by far is Dolce and Gabbana and where better to showcase the new season looks than the city where Dolce and Gabbana began - Milan.

The Spanish influence can be felt throughout this collection. Feminine floral prints and jewel embellishments are contrasted with black and lace to avoid them looking frumpy. Crisp white shirts sit alongside patterned red shorts. The severity of dark hair pulled into tight buns should feel out of place with floral prints, but don't as they are teamed with flowing skirts resembling that of a flamenco dancer's attire.

I think the concept that I adore most about this collection is the wearability factor. This is a look that can be so easily transported from the catwalk to my own #OOTD. A simple black skirt and a floral top would mirror this collection, as would a statement jewel necklace transforming an everyday look into something so much more.

Oh, and Kendall Jenner closed the show center stage, no biggie.
