D&G, Milão, Retrô, Oscar Wilde

Inspiration

Oscar Wilde, as a symbol of dandy-esque decadence, eternal representation of willingly eccentric elegance, melts with the severity of military inspiration in the D&G F/W 2009/2010 collection. Tailcoats and a prevalence of grey introduce the theme. A luxurious array of clothes to be worn with modern nonchalance, inspired by the ultimate hedonist among Wilde characters: Dorian Gray. Synonymous with the cult of absolute beauty, the character is once again terribly relevant thanks to the much anticipated movie directed by British director Oliver Parker, due to be released in September 2009, as if perfectly timed with this collection release. The D&G’s show embodies Wilde’s visionary soul thanks to printed tailcoats and tapestries on finished garments, whose unfocused images remind us of the imprecise reality of dreams.
