Dolce and Gabbana, where did your taste go?



After seeing the horrifying F/W 2007 collection by Dolce and Gabbana, now I see the tasteless ugly D&G S/S 2007 collection for sale now! These outfits look extremely cheap and cheesy, with a sad resemblance to Vegas showgirls. I mean, Domenico and Stefano are cool, but not so cool when they start treating us as some morons who would wear these, let alone paying 500+ for them!!! I love floral prints and I often wear them in spring, but these prints are just ridiculously tacky and does not look like something designed by the talented duo. Honestly, the long dress up there looks like what those Juliana dancer in Japan back in 1990's would wear, or some trashy cheap Chinese dress costume they let you rent at tourist attractions in China. And check out that slit on the yellow mini skirt and pale skittle coloured cardigan! That ensemble just look incredibly cheap and trashy. The jersey is hanging and I cannot see any structure what so ever. That metallic fuschia Greek-inspired dress with the chain is simply ridiculous. One could seriously look like some Roman warrior wearing that. Those unflattering chain just makes one look unproportionally top heavy and wide. The whole thing is just costume-like and cheap. Do I even need to explain myself for that unimproved-80's dress with the horrible print and ugly shade of pink? Adieu Adieu, I fare thee well the good taste Dolce and Gabbana!

As a matter of fact, If I am to pay 500+ on one of those cheap looking D&G dresses above, I would much rather spend 300-500 for a nice contemporary designer floral dress! In fact, many contemporary designers actually make really nice, well-constructed, versatile dresses that can be easily worn in everyday life. For example, below is a floral mini dress by Rebecca Taylor. It has a high waistline that hides fat (very useful for early spring before you manage to lose the winter bulk just yet), decent floral print, and nice hybrid of rossett and frill in the bottom in shape of white flowers. It is only 365 at Bergdorf Goodman and it looks better quality.

Dolce and Gabbana RTW F/W 2007 in Milan Fashion Week




I'll be blunt here, this taste level is simply unacceptable for top tier designers like Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana....I know breaking up and still working together is tough, but that isn't a good excuse for putting together these Christmas gift wrap and call them designer fashion! I know winter is holiday season, but this festivity has gone too far. I don't understand that distracting sheer on top of the leopard print that keeps recurring throughout the collection, I just dont' get it. And that shinny red dress that resembles the gift wrap that got bunched together after being torn off a Christmas gift? That shinny shirt with print of woman bosoms with some hair? Where did the Dolce and Gabbana that created sexy, wild, feminine, perfectly tailored clothing go? The 4 dresses below are not as horrifying, they are actually quite well done. These metallics add glamour, yet they are refined and do not appear too heavy. The body conscious cut and light weight fabric add a bit of sexiness and romance to it. Although they aren't anything so innovative, they are at least decent and look good! What I don't get is that cheap looking S and M looking thick belt that keeps appearing in almost every dress. These belts totally destroy the look and are extremely distracting. When I was browsing through this collection, all I wanted to do was to rip those belt off those models and see the dresses finally!
