• “‘La Dolce Vita’ was the name of the game at Dolce&Gabbana, where the fun-loving designing duo recalled the sacred and profane of mundane Italian life, as exposed in director Federico Fellini’s 1960 movie.” [AP]
• “Byzantine beauties in bejeweled crowns and gold and turquoise mosaics.” [The Cut/New York Magazine]
• “Could Ratzinger have inspired Dolce & Gabbana’s latest collection? From the looks of what came down the runway on Sunday afternoon in Milan–the departing papa may have been the guiding light behind the collection.” [The Daily Beast]
• “The final round of scarlet, encrusted in ruby-red crystal was indeed heavenly.” [ELLEuk.com]
• “While you always expect a dose of Sicilian style piety at the label, this season’s Byzantine mosaic frescoes, chalice gems and blazing Cardinal red finale brought a gorgeously gaudy flavour to the Dolce & Gabbana temple.” [Grazia Daily]
• “Dolce & Gabbana … delivered an autumn-winter blockbuster.” [The Guardian]
• “Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana mined their Catholic heritage for the rich iconography that inspired their new collection.” [The Independent]
• “With a sound track from Frederico Fellini’s films and a finale of lace dresses glowing fire red, the effect was surreal.” [International Herald Tribune]
• “There was real freshness in these silhouettes. They were boxier and more sparse than we’ve seen from the designers as of late, and–in spite of their elaborate embellishments and prints–felt right in line with fashion’s recent pared-down mood.” [POPSUGAR Fashion]
• “The Pope may have thrown in the towel, but Dolce and Gabbana’s Catholic faith has not been shook.” [SHOWstudio]
• “Theirs is a romanticized view of the Catholic Church, to be sure, one far removed from the tawdriness of contemporary scandals. And in terms of fashion, that vision proved compelling here, blessedly less kitsch than last season’s.” [Style.com]
• “All in all, an upbeat and uplifting way to approach the end of the Milan season.” [Vogue.com]
• “You can’t fault Dolce & Gabbana for the workmanship or the spectacle – these are two attributes this duo, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, do oh-so well and time and time again.” [Vogue.com UK]
