D&G here designing the Broadway version of Wilde.

My entire goal in life is to look like it's 1912 and I'm only now in mourning for Marie Antoinette.
She'd want it to be more a celebration of her life, I think.
She'd want me to glitz it up.

They had almost this exact suit in their previous collection but on a woman, so either they're running out of ideas or they're putting out the gender-neutral fashion they want to see in the world.
Or both.

some things you can only describe as "louche". Then swirl the dregs of your absinthe and turn your attention back to the stage

I love my gay nerd Dracula.

this is some baroque-ass bullshit and I want to live in it.

The gigantic corduroy here, if that's what it is, coupled with the large, stiff cut, just make it look like he's a tiny figure in an Edwardian diorama.

I haven't seen it, is this Welcome to Marwen

I just don't think, in this day and age, that respectable purveyors of couture should be purveying couture that looks like something a movie Nazi would wear.

Her cloak is trimmed with monkey fur to lend a dash of drama.

here's one fox hunt ;) I'd love to join ;) ;)

He doesn't know it, but Jerry the benchwarmer is in love with him. Or maybe he does know it, and enjoys the power of unattainability.

Not wild about the drawstring on the pants, but the grey/mustard/teal combination is aces.

As an image: love it.
As an actual suit of clothes: host of the seediest show in Reno.

I like it but it also screams "ringmaster of an after-hours circus where all the animals are people and there's too much crowd-participation. also he wants you for an assistant", and I personally just can't do that again

On any given day I'm just two degrees removed from actually dressing like this. The only thing holding me back is that you couldn't possibly wear those pants on the bus. Also it's expensive.

This looks so scratchy I can't even make a joke. My eyeballs are worn away like seaglass.

in the speakeasy you don't remember entering, where fingers like yew twigs curl around glasses of straight St-Germaine, where dim figures in the smoke bend heads that might have antlers, where the brightest things are gems and eyes, he's the boss, and the room is silent for him

I think this is an attempt at color-blocking and it completely has not paid off, because it looks like he's made of halves of two completely separate dolls.

I don't normally get hung up on practicality, because couture is often more like sculpture with only a slight relation to the human body and its concerns, but a top made of these sequins is a NIGHTMARE and you will SHED THEM like the scales of the WORLD'S GLITZIEST HERRING

love the pants, BUT it is a mistake to define the waist this strongly. Instead of an ensemble, it's a seam.

don't look too closely. you'll get vertigo.

If this ISN'T somehow from Brideshead Revisited, I'll eat the left fingerbones of Evelyn Waugh.

look, I know the whole collection is The Symbolist Poets' Night Out but this is REALLY a symbolist poet.

THIS WAS MADE FOR ME.

Who needs a rosary when you can just stand for hours in front of a mirror?

When you need to closet cosplay Tehanu and all your meager wardrobe will afford you is a Dolce and Gabbana ensemble.

COUTURE SHOULD NOT BE SO EXPENSIVE
THE MASSES DESERVE BROCADE

Well now we're in straight-up "one should always have something sensational to read in the train" territory.

I love my gay prep Dracula

I hate the fit here. H A T E it.

I don't know, there's something so affectedly slouchy happening here. Either slouch with honesty, or don't slouch at all.

Titania's prom photo

The colors are good but he looks like he's wearing the back of a fancy chair.

I'm Very Into the labradorite/black opal vibe of the suit

*squints*
no?
*squints harder*
no.
*squints even more*
NO.

Having repeatedly dinged other things for the weird fit, it's time for me to say I love this, and blithely disregard the past. It's behind us. We only have now. Tonight…we are young.

This is so comparatively normal I'm looking for some kind of trap. If this were a murder mystery, he'd be my prime suspect.
(Until he dies in act three.)

I love my gay jock Dracula

the coat says "coachman that the young duchess mustn't lay eyes on", the hair says "coachman who's really the Earl of de Vere in disguise", the bow tie says "the last page is their wedding"

I love my gay goth Dracula

I viscerally hate this and I can't? tell? why? If you wore this to my house I would spill port on you. I would invoke kanly. You would attack the foundations of my shifgrethor.

1- amazing
B) I need a chain of office

Isn't this Marty McFly's dad when he beat up Biff Tannen so he could have sex with Marty McFly's mom (I mean so Marty McFly's dad could have sex with her)? I've only seen the movie like once and a half

I'm not convinced but my heart is soft, so

a set of sad mistakes.

It's not the holidays anymore but I'm saving this to be the angel atop my tree next year.

your prompt is AUTUMN. your materials are REMNANTS FROM AN OLD TAHOE SKI LODGE. you have TWENTY-FOUR HOURS.

I'M JUST SAYING

This works a lot better than the earlier checked ones, because the palette is more integrated, [mythology reference, for the brand], and the coat is dominant, rather than fighting with the trousers for attention.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dressing Gown.

I thought this looked comfy until I zoomed in and realized it is NOT comfy, it is SEQUINS. IF YOU WANT A SHINY DRESSING GOWN JUST USE SILK LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE, DEE AND GEE.

And that is all! I didn't post more than half of the actual collection, since it's very big, so if you want more, check it out wherever you get your runway photography. Thanks for reading!
