The Dolce & Gabbana runway finished on the streets Saturday, letting the crowd of fashion fans gathered outside share the excitement of the normally closed and exclusive world of Milan Fashion Week.

For the first time in their 40-year history, the Italian design duo Dolce & Gabbana are showcasing their work in Paris.

Fashion house Dolce & Gabbana has launched a new alcohol-free perfume for dogs called ‘Fefé’ in honor of Domenico Dolce’s poodle, but not all vets and pet owners agree it’s safe or appropriate.

Dolce & Gabbana are coaxing men off their sofas and back into the world, however it will be, with a resplendent collection inspired by the extravagant lighting installations that characterize southern Italian street festivals.

But the coronavirus pandemic has largely put the kibosh on live fashion shows with most fashion houses going digital to launch their summer collections for next year in both Milan this week and Paris last. Also working against the fashion show ritual, cross-border travel has become difficult, if not impossible. The digital cant substitute the live shows, Carlo Capasa, president of Italys National Fashion Chamber said after the Dolce&Gabbana show, which also marked the designers resumption of membership in the organizing body. This live show gave more substance to fashion week.The experience has convinced designers that the next round in September needs to be live as much as possible, he said. Coincidentally, Dolce&Gabbana was the last fashion house to host a show in Milan after the first domestically transmitted case was identified just an hour from the Italian fashion capital while the fashion world was gathered for fashion week.
