GenerationD&G

«Machine Gun Kelly? Super fashionable and super precise. When it comes to fashion, he knows what he wants». Word of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana who on their catwalk hosted the performance of the American singer and actor born in Houston, class of 1990. Behind the pseudonym of Colson Baker, bleached hair, all over tattoos, Instagram inflamed by photos of concerts. And also the media boom for having hit the heart of the statuesque Megan Fox, present in the front row at the Dolce&Gabbana show, just a few days after the official request for marriage. Maybe the just married could be signed by the designer duo. Who knows. A possibility that comes to mind seeing the understanding with the young artist that the Milanese maison has often dressed. And some inspiration could come from the autumn-winter 2022/23 season staged at the Metropol space in Milan.

«We wanted to experiment, we also came out of our Dna», explained to MFF the same Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, «the new generations like fashion. And we listen to them. They have a beautiful sense of freedom». To wear a wardrobe that does not admit half measures, bold and impressive. You can tell as soon as the white suit appears with all over pearls and spike applications worn by Machine Gun Kelly, who opened and closed the show, as well as playing for the soundtrack. His face blends in with the electrified pop graphics scrolling along the backdrop and runway screens. Amidst remnants of maculature and numbers that fall like in the Matrix. The Dolce&Gabbana metaverse opens up to reveal a lysergic rave party between high altitude and street vibes, like a video game. Down jackets like astronauts, skintight second-skin suits or giant pants and sweatshirts, that you navigate in. Glasses with space treats and long, high wool hats like Marge Simpson. Among maxi furs strictly ecological worn with underwear, jackets with new proportions from the shoulders swollen and the waist marked as a figure, punk and graffiti quotes, a true customization by Rocco Pezzella, in art Boche/Thoro.

Judgment. In an instant you are transported to a video clip in Los Angeles. No half measures, all free to play the part of a star. More international appeal and more brazenly youthful, she's very reminiscent of the iconic D&G generation thrill but with an ace up her sleeve. It hides the made in Italy tradition under that swaggering skin. (reserved reproduction)
