RUNWAY: Dolce&Gabbana SS13

For Spring/Summer 2013, Dolce&Gabbana ditched the models and instead cast their entire runway show with real Sicilians, what a better way to convey the aura of the brand's heritage than putting the clothes they represent on the men (and boys) of the region?

The collection worked in that regard but in terms of fit and tailoring, it seemed off. The clothes were rather ill-fitting, especially the cropped trousers, with pleats that are usually unflattering on models, were even more so on normal sized people. Though that could be attributed to the fact that the feel of the collection was more "wearing your father's (or grandfather's) clothes", which in theory, is a wonderful sentiment and homage to the region but when it comes to wearable and sales, it falters.
