No, the correct answer is not a newspaper, it is rather the colour palette used at the Dolce & Gabbana for the Spring 2010 show; where a selection of tailored, solidly coloured black, white and shimmering red clothes came down the runway in a dramatic fashion, with the occasional floral print (staying true to the colour theme) thrown in for good and fun measure.
This collection was part Madonna; with sculptured bustiers revealing cone shaped bras, and detailed underwear worn as outerwear. It was part French maid; with delicate black and white lace micro mini ra-ra skirts and cheeky bloomers on display. And it was also part South American with the use of bold red, from the fabrics to the red lips of the models.
Blazers with defined shoulders and collars as well as corset tops remained true to the signature form-fitting shape of Dolce & Gabbana, but rather than the structured and fitting knee-length pencil skirts that we have come to expect from this fashion house, the hemlines were raised even higher to reveal plenty of leg as the bubble-shaped micro minis playfully bounced down the runway and helped models to ‘get into the groove’.
