PIONEERING a new age of the catwalk, Dolce and Gabbana continue their casting of famous faces for the AW18 collection, exhibiting a regal runway of highly decorated pieces. Recruiting pop culture royalty, a host of male milennials that rose to fame through the likes of famous fathers and social media apps, to model prince worthy pieces.
The collection has a sense of aristocratic attire, illustrated through tailcoat blazers, intricate gold embroidery and a parade of baroque print patterning. Additional to the emerald green tuxedos, floral-print suits and polka-dot three pieces come polar-opposite kits of violet , velvet tracksuits, and silk-print tees taped with slogans and heavily adorned with renaissance art references.
Accessories of tint-lens aviators, leather gloves and bold bow ties look fitting with the fur coats, bejewelled loafers and sequinned trousers  that become most arresting at the Milan menswear show. Turning the dial-up on the monarchy theme that has dominated the direction of Dolce and Gabbana as of late, AW18 features the fan-favourite fellas in crowns and encrusted lapel tuxedos, connoting absolute luxury.
Within the midst of such striking looks, a Glass favourite from the crowd of over 100 outfits is the velvet robe-inspired blazers. Taking the recent trend of nightwear for daytime looks, the blazers feature a gown-inspired belt attached to the blazer, creating trends in formal-wear sure to be seen on the red-carpet in the upcoming months.
