Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2022 Ready-To-Wear Women’s collection with retro 2000s disco-glam style

Dolce & Gabbana is back to celebrate the 2000s with a disco-glam style runway, presenting sparkling, sequined blouses and rock-studded miniskirts and trousers.

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana came back to the fashion industry. This time, the signature unveiled its latest Spring 2022 Ready-to-Wear runway titled ‘DG Light’. A collection that pushes the boundaries of joy and optimism in a celebration of the 2000s, presenting essential silhouettes blend with hyper volumes, mix & match styles, and iconic and sexy confidence. It was certainly a ‘reinterpretation of the aesthetic codes of the 2000s’ and the references certainly aren’t subtle.

The creative pair said on the sidelines of the show that they had drawn inspiration from the early 2000s with a dominant minimalist style. “We thought we’d do something not similar, but in the same mood as that 2000 collection. We’re coming out of a dark time” – meaning the pandemic – “and we want to enjoy life. We want light,” backstage Gabbana said.

Taking place on a long mirrored runway at the Metropole in Milan, the disco-like atmosphere lit up the runway with glimmering mirrors as a backdrop. Moreover, the designers, Stefano & Domenico Gabbana updating archive pieces and reinventing old staples and elements for the elusive Gen-Z. Those references came courtesy of exposed G-strings and bralettes, micro bolero, Saharan jackets, flirty embellished miniskirts, lingerie-style lace blouses, and camo cargo pants. This was mixed with embellished denim sets, flowers, butterfly-like shoulders, animalier prints, lace, zebra-print shirts with outrageous architectural sleeves, and little sequin mini dresses. 

The 60s decade was present too, mainly in the form of a mini shift dress with matching go-go boots. The 80s popped up in a slashed-neck, tie-dye Jennifer Lopez tee and also in a couple of giant ruffled shirt shoulders.
