autumn collection from DOLCE AND GABANNA and ANDREW GN



Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana can work a theme like nobody's business, and at their D&G show they went mad for plaid, that cloth beloved of Her Majesty the Queen.stefano gabbana n domenico dolce

Balmoral is uncharted territory for this duo, and a few of the fuller skirts will come off as dowdy on the post-teen set that is this collection's target crowd. But the designers made up for that with seventies-ish denim flares

Trade in the flat velvet slippers that accompanied the closing parade of floor-sweeping plaid chiffon dresses for the goldenn-heeled patent-leather boots seen elsewhere in the collectioN


where were the skirts? Andrew Gn is a leg man, but instead of the above-the-knee styles and pencil numbers his clients love him for, he stuck mostly to pants.



what happened to the colors and prints and, for that matter, embroideries—all hallmarks of this seven-year-old house?Gn's dark, sophisticated new palette aligned nicely with the Paris season.

And great ones, too, in the softest cashmere—cropped with a row of buttons rising from the ankle to mid-calf, or straight and leg-lengthening with a raised waist and the tiniest flare.
