The use of virginal white by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana seems almost humorous, as the label is known for its sex appeal. The designers were inspired by brides in southern Italy and the giving of a hope chest. White lace appeared in almost every single look, though black and leopard made an appearance as well. These looks are perhaps for those moments when the pseudo-virginal woman is more brazenly naughty. While the collection was generally quite soft and feminine, the white lace was often far from modest. It felt very tongue-in-cheek to me. A series of sparkling looks closed the astounding 80 look show, though sadly their dramatic effect does not come through in still images (I recommend seeking out video). I edited rather brutally so I wasn't posting 40 looks. The following are my favorites.
