The newest Dolce and Gabbana Collection for Spring/Summer 2015 recently debuted at Milan's fashion week. The line takes inspiration from South American matadors dressed in richly embellished costumes and bright red colors.
The Dolce and Gabbana brand is known for creating extremely detail-oriented high-fashion pieces that come with a storyline. These garments turn the stylized appearance of a matador into feminine red satin high-waisted shorts, loose white button-up shirts, black lace shirts and embroidered jackets with padded shoulders. The models were done up to have bold red lips, pulled back ponytail hairstyles and dewy skin. Delicate gold earrings and hair pieces completed the look. The runway featured a carpet made from various red squares that really made the outfits pop as the models strutted their stuff down the catwalk.
