Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana

the design duo of the eponymous label Dolce & Gabbana (D & G)

are known for their distinctive design directive:

 

 

 

inevitably ornate

whimsical

often quirky

colourful

sometimes inspired by historical/cultural references

textural

stunning fabrication

 

 

 

 

never subdued, or one-dimensional

a bit of the wild, weird and delightfully wonderful.

 

 

For their a/w  2016 menswear collection, D & G presented overcoats

with more than a hint of  ‘Grizzly Adams’ fashion flair:

super-size oversized and faux fur overflow

for much tactile comfort and necessary warmth against

the winter chill.

 

 

 

…

 

 

Leg-wear notes:

close-fit knit trousers and faux fur full ‘Buffalo’ trousers

As the autumn season slowly fades and

winter weather whisks in,

the overcoat gains prominence as signature piece.

Its function is two-fold: to provide warmth and protection

against the cold clime and to make the wearer look fabulous in the process.

 

…

The gents have many choices from which to contemplate

the perfect winter overcoat, which speaks to total comfort

and style needs.
