Tomorrow morning, when Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana present their Fall/Winter 2016 collection in Milan, you can practically guarantee that the clothes will be wildly feminine and inspired by the poetic beauty of the pair’s native Italy. Likewise, Dolce & Gabbana’s hair and makeup tends to summon a spirit of Sicilian ease and sensuality that has become a house signature, one that has lent itself to deeply evocative beauty on the runway. For those hoping to capture their spirit of dolce vita, a look back at show seasons past reveals a few unspoken rules. For one, you need a healthy sun-kissed glow that recalls languid summers spent lazing about the Mediterranean. A fluid flick of catlike liner conjures the sultry gaze of ’60s screen siren Sophia Loren and other Cinecittà bombshells, and grows twice as deadly when paired with a full red pout that flatters flowing floral gowns and brocade hot pants equally.
As for the hair, there are two simple house codes. First, a loose chignon comes knotted at the nape of the neck, with a few flyaways for a touch of windswept, L’Avventura–style glamour. The final touch demands a more heavy-handed approach to self-ornamentation, and whether that means a spray of enamel roses pinned just above the ear, or a gold Byzantine crown studded with gems, a sweeping romantic statement à la Dolce vita lies within easy reach.
