Finally, we have all waited for the next masterpieces from the Italian duo! According to the calendar, spring has not yet arrived, but in this collection colors are already in full swing, flowers are blooming and love is in full swing. It was love that became the red thread of the Dolce Gabbana spring-summer 2021 collection, and it is personified by the “Queen of Hearts” - the card queen of hearts.
The collection is dominated by three main colors - black, pink and white. The line of beach outfits for the summer season is made in ethno style using warm brown, blue, white, and leopard prints. The fashion house remains true to itself, which is very pleasing! Spring promises to be gentle and touching, and summer promises to be hot and provocative.
Queen of Hearts – Bustier Dress
Even if the waistband of this dress did not have the signature logo of the design house, it would still be recognizable by its characteristic silhouette. Almost no Dolce Gabbana collection is complete without feminine translucent dresses with lace-up corsets. And this one was no exception.
And here is the scarlet heart, the heart of the entire collection, complemented by a scarlet rose - another symbol of love and passion. Luxurious jewelry with plant motifs deserves special attention. Only this Italian trend knows how to play with roses and hearts without being cloying or pretentious!
Details of the Dolce-Gabbana FW-2018 show
In the 80s, when the young brand was taking its first steps towards the fashion Olympus, Dolce and Gabbana attracted not modeling business professionals, but their acquaintances, to the first designer show. This was the first attempt to declare: they create their clothes not for top models, but for ordinary people. In the new fashion year, the designers decided to return to the roots and implement this idea on an even larger scale: 140 people took to the catwalk, who had only one thing in common - their close friendship with the founders of the Dolce & Gabbana brand.
The unusual models represented a variety of nationalities, creative fields, age groups and clothing sizes. The composition turned out to be truly motley, because it was represented by grandmothers, children, sisters and brothers of celebrities, and not all of them are part of the crowd of bloggers, socialites or musical figures! This technique helped the designers convey their motto to the audience: any of us should simply be ourselves.
Abundant decor, prints and patches are the main features of the autumn-winter show
It should be noted that the ideal cut of this brand allows Dolce & Gabbana clothes to be worn not only by ideally thin models, but also by ordinary people, each of whom has their own characteristics of figure and body structure. This is supported by the show's tagline: "Real clothes for real people." However, Dolce and Gabbana shows are not called shows for nothing, so many of the models are quite recognizable media figures.
Before the start of the show, the brand carried out a large-scale PR campaign, in which it announced that at the show one could see Instagram beauties Kristina Bazan, Aimee Song, Alexandra Pereira, Russian blogger Sasha Spielberg, YouTube star Madison Beer, representative of the “golden youth” Sonia Ben, Lucky Blue Smith, businesswoman and mother of six children Stella Aminova, Amanda and Jason Harvey and many, many others. It was also unusual that some newly minted models came to the show and walked on the catwalk with their children.
Most of the outfits in the collection are entirely dedicated to predatory cats.
It cannot be said that the fashion designers decided to present something fundamentally new to the audience. However, Dolce & Gabbana is loved precisely because they harmoniously combine new trends and iconic motifs unique to this house - at the show one could see luxurious decorative techniques, avant-garde color solutions, catchy prints, embroidery, floristry and appliqués. The winter collection is so filled with summer mood that it can give a boost of positivity even on the coldest and cloudiest day.
The designers confirmed their fame as minstrels of women's fashion - the show made it clear that they are ready to endlessly sing odes to beauty and will do everything possible to emphasize the sexuality and charm of the modern girl. The collection turned out to be so complex, multi-component and differentiated that it cannot be attributed to any one style - the only common denominator of the show was the recognizable handwriting of Domenico and Stefano.
Extreme animalism from Dolce-Gabbana in outerwear and shoes
Among the most prominent trends in the collection it is necessary to name:
- gold decor in the form of embroidered and applique orders, musical notes and metallized accessories in a noble shade of aged gold;
- luxurious fur in all its forms - aristocratic fur coats, boas and jacquard coats lined with fur appeared on the catwalk;
- floral motifs in the form of garden roses beloved by designers;
- patchwork, combining the most incredible colors and textures;
- animal prints - a predatory leopard pattern is found on dresses, coats, bags, shoes and fur coats;
- natural styling and almost complete absence of decorative techniques in makeup. The only exception is bright accents on the lips;
- contrasting color scheme - the emphasis was placed on traditional home black and red, sunny gold, muted yellow and orange, as well as emerald green;
- an abundance of accessories - the traditional Dolce & Gabbana tiaras were supplemented by sports-style hats, animalistic hoods, large pendants, handbags and hard-shaped clutches;
- references to the Italian Renaissance - for example, prints that repeat artistic elements of paintings by Raphael Santi and Vittore Carpaccio;
- bright manifestations of eclecticism. Wearing looks in the same style is boring, Dolce and Gabbana think so, so they easily combine a royal fur coat and jeans with logos, a lace dress and fur Birkenstocks that look more like house slippers, a jacquard suit and sneakers, and an evening dress into a single look. and a down jacket;
- large appliqué logos in the style of the 90s, stylized playing cards and drawings from comics, which are found on bombers, coats, suits, jackets, anoraks, hats, skirts, bags and cardigans.
Now let's talk about the brightest and most memorable trends in a little more detail.
Black lace, sequins and fringe
The story of the Lady of Hearts' love adventures continues with a line of black outfits made from a variety of materials. This time, Dolce Gabbana did not stop at just one fabric, but used everything at once to create charming black “Sicilian widow” dresses of all styles and styles.
Fringe, sequins, lace, fitted and flared silhouettes, mini and midi, mules and stilettos - your eyes run wild and you want to try them all on at once! Italian fashion designers are really breaking the hearts of fashionistas with their enchanting and elegant collection for the coming season.
flower Fairy
With a vibrant floral print on sheer chiffon, you'll fall in love with these looks! More precisely, it is impossible not to fall in love. We are looking forward to summer so we can try on all these luxurious roses and flowing skirts.
Pay attention to the details that will be a trend: the waist emphasized by a wide, rough belt, dropped sleeves, ruffles along the bodice and from the knee level on the skirt. Models wear such romantic dresses with shoes with flat soles.
No less interesting is the option in milk with mini. Accents: long sleeves, a-line skirt, large buttons to match the floral print. By the way, in this collection bright round buttons as a decorative element appear more than once.
Similarity of opposites
Dolce & Gabbana shows often take place in different, different lines. Classic and avant-garde, evening dresses and light everyday looks - all this seems quite natural. But in this collection the looks are so different stylistically that it creates a feeling of opposition to each other.
Then we see the usual “Byzantine” allusions for the duo - heavy brocade, an abundance of gold embroidery, crowns decorated with stones, etc. And suddenly, funny floral prints, frivolous cards with queens of hearts or French jackets decorated with curtain tassels. So that no one doubts what these images are intended for, sprigs of parsley and cilantro were placed in the models’ handbags: the lady is coming from the market!
Roses and stripes
Severity and temptation, modesty and sexuality, black and white clear lines and lush pink color against their background - these dresses and suits enchant. Italian designers, in their eternal admiration for women, took care of creating outfits of different lengths and styles for every taste and age. This is one of the most original and beautiful lines in the collection.

Black and gold
Flowers embroidered with lurex and hearts embroidered with sequins in business looks? Yes! Italian masters know how to masterfully play this too! Luxurious golden flowers bloom on fitted blazers and formal cardigans and the same blood-scarlet hearts beat.
Once again, Dolce Gabbana confirms that a woman can be unapproachable and seductive at the same time. Traditionally for the fashion house, formal suits with glamorous embroidery are combined with knitted T-shirts, black or white - remember, fashionistas!
Mega sequins and chiffon
There was a place in the new collection for experimental images. If the petals of roses and peonies suddenly froze and turned into metal, this is what they would look like. Designers boldly combine a cape made of sparkling metallic discs with an incredibly feminine and romantic translucent dress made of crinkled chiffon with floral appliqués.
But this is not the final fashion solution for an extravagant item. “Our rule is no rules! – Italian fashion designers once said. “We like it when our clothes are worn differently from how we showed them!” This is a gift for daring girls with an unconventional style.
And again roses, hearts and sequins
Highlight of the collection - sparkling and iridescent dresses in black, silver and red shades, decorated with hearts and roses. All models, fitted or flared, mini or midi, are distinguished by a simple cut. But they are complemented by the same catchy floral jewelry and luxurious shoes - the favorite feature of designers and the weakness of all fans of their work.
Dolce & Gabbana dresses 2020-2021
Undoubtedly, the word “luxury” suits the new collection most of all. Firstly, the colors of the outfits repeat the floral riot of nature. Secondly, the styles emphasize and even enhance the femininity of the models.
Photos of new Dolce & Gabbana dresses 2020-2021 speak for themselves. Undoubtedly, the splendor of their styles is second only to the richness of the colors! The accessories used by the designers also develop the floral theme. Moreover, embroidery, appliqués, and pins make the dresses really chic.
In 2020-2021, floral print is at the peak of fashion. Dresses from Dolce & Gabbana, photos of which are here, brilliantly confirm this. Among all the plants, designers highlight the brightest ones. In addition, poppies and roses look very impressive on fabric.
At the show, the models were literally covered with flower petals. Firstly, such additions emphasize girlish fragility and grace. Secondly, they favorably set off the outfit itself.
Crinkled chiffon dresses
There are few of them in the collection. But connoisseurs of romantic images will really like them for their unusual color and decorative solutions. Dolce Gabbana never mindlessly flaunts naked bodies. There is always room for intrigue, and that is what inspires. The Queen of Hearts can be a prude when she wants. But even then she remains a woman - tender, fragile, unearthly.
New brutality
The men's show features the same trends from Dolce & Gabbana. Cards, but with kings, flowers, but in combination with aggressive animal prints, black and white abstract patterns. It is no coincidence that critics applied the term “New Brutality” to the men’s collection.
Clothes from the Dolce & Gabbana spring-summer collection are already available to purchase through oneBigShop. Look at the presented models, choose your favorite - become the kings and queens of hearts, as Dolce & Gabbana intended in 2021!
Ethnic print with white lace
This line is the brightest in the entire collection
Dress with a corset of roses and a heart
“Corsets and lingerie are our everything, they are an iconic item in our collections,” designers have stated more than once. – Women should wear corsets to look chic and seductive. The corset tightens the waist, but declares the expansion of rights and opportunities!”
A slightly ironic, flirty and very sexy dress in black, red and silver became the quintessence of the new Dolce Gabbana “Queen of Hearts” collection.
See the invisible
The whole Dolce & Gabbana line, as always, was dedicated to women's classics. Black ensembles that combine impenetrably draped parts with translucent (but also black) materials. Dresses and overalls, individual elements collected into overall looks - the lines familiar to designers can be seen in everything.
