Tag Archives: 1950s

Dolce & Gabbana’s latest collection was full of baby friends and kids honoring their moms. Dresses with child-like drawings and appliqués took over the runway… probably, inspired by Angelina Jolie’s Versace custom-made wedding dress.

I’m loving these 1940s-1950s dress coats! So classic! So Mad Men! And the fur sleeves totally look like you’re smuggling two wrinkly dogs. I’m going to praise Muiccia for not hot glueing big ass ornaments and jewels for once this season. It was starting to look like a runway show for …
