Nothing succeeds like excess at Dolce & Gabbana’s Milan menswear show

Dolce & Gabbana presented its Fall/Winter 2026 menswear collection on June 20, 2026, during Milan Fashion Week, emphasizing the brand's signature "molto sexy" Italian aesthetic. The show featured flamboyant and revealing outfits, including clingy muscle vests, micro shorts, and some topless models. Jeans were presented in ripped, shredded, or heavily jeweled variations, while T-shirts displayed bold prints of Sicilian lemons, ancient amphitheatres, and a mosaic depiction of Christ. This collection aimed to project an image of "Euro summer on steroids" and draw attention to the brand's opulent style. The presentation occurred amidst reports of the Italian fashion house addressing debt issues, past controversies, and management changes, with the brand leaning into theatricality on the runway.
