Dolce & Gabbana presents Fall 2026 collection soundtracked by Madonna -“accept praise” “I will remember,” And much more—while Madonna sat front row next to Anna Wintour.
The room was filled with crazy energy as models walked down the aisle to show off jackets worn backwards, proving that they can be worn backwards and reinforcing the idea of looking good while walking.
Based on the belief that identity is the ultimate luxury, the collection focuses on presence rather than nostalgia. Sicily emerged as emotion, black as power, lace as intimacy, and sewing as authority. Femininity and masculinity remained in constant dialogue, with the body being affirmed rather than hidden. The codes of the house – sensuality, devotion, glamor and craftsmanship – merged into an aesthetic instantly recognizable for its authenticity and passion, underscoring the story of staying true to oneself.
Sheer lace dresses, corset tops and sheer pencil skirts were layered beneath faux fur coats and dramatic outerwear. Plum blazers were styled with knee-high socks, while pinstripe suits with bold lines reflected menswear influences. Knits remained evident, lingerie was worn under larger coats, and chevron outerwear with fur details reinforced the collection’s emphasis on statement coats. Outerwear eventually emerged as a defining element of the show.
A restrained palette of black, white and gray underpinned the collection executed in velvet, wool and cotton. Accessories included fur handbags, knitted satchels, tapestry bags and black and burgundy colored croc handbags, which were styled with thigh-high socks to complete the look.
