All the collection was a glamorous nod to Madonna’s signature styles from the 80s and 90s, with models donning blonde, permed wigs and black headbands reminiscent of Madonna’s Blond Ambition era
Color Palette
The runway was dominated by a color palette that included a notable use of black and white and some silver, red and pale pink tones.
The pieces
We found corsets, conical bras and pin-striped blazers, most in black
Each corset, while reminiscent of Gaultier’s original, was elevated with quintessential Dolce & Gabbana craftsmanship: delicate, intricate and undeniably Italian
The collection includes floral prints and glamorous evening dresses adorned with crystal fringe, evoking the sensual Italian style that Madonna has always had
Each look conveys what has long been the brand’s hallmark: sensuality, beauty and the celebration of a woman’s attitude and character
