The secret-agent silhouette on the invitation momentarily raised hopes that Domenico and Stefano were going to channel Daniel Craig s animal magnetism for their D&G collection, but 007 s catwalk presence was confined to the message on the T-shirt that accompanied a march-past of denim styles in the finale. Instead, it was another magnetic animal that Dolce and Gabbana drew on for electricity: cue Madonna. The sound of "Music" filled the Metropol, and the collection was infused with the brash flash of that song s video. Think black velvet tracksuit underneath big fur coat (gold tooth optional), or white tux with metallic trainers. That was the collection in a nutshell—sports glam. Here, a yellow satin motocross jacket, there, a baseball jacket in blue Lurex, and something for the coach in a textured, old gold leather blouson. While pole dancers bumped and ground at the end of the catwalk, D&G offered uniforms for grown-up games, with Vegas as the adult playground of choice. That s where a young gambler might want to take a chance in a silvery velvet moleskin suit or a gold shirt jacket that shone like ciré. A maroon silk shirt paired with black velvet jeans was positively quiet by comparison.
