Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have found their true calling in fashion: making people feel good about themselves. Smiles were worn runway-side—that’s unusual enough—at their celebratory show about the okay-ness of identity. “Each one of us is the king or queen of our own lives!” Dolce declared. Meaning, each of us is the sole owner of a unique cluster of genes—and why not celebrate that? The theme of this season’s show was DNA—the designers’ own fingerprints were projected on screens behind the audience. There were more than 150 looks (perhaps this is turning into an Italian inter-brand contest, after Riccardo Tisci’s Burberry score of 134 and Emporio Armani showing more than 170).
