Milan highlights: Dolce & Gabbana’s autumn fashion fantasy

Flying in a stellar cast of A- list celebs, a star packed front row saw Eva Mendes, Scarlett Johansson (who is the face of D&G’s make up range), Freida Pinto, Kate Hudson, Lauren Hutton, Nadja Auremann, Eva Herzigova and Claudia Schiffer all sitting shoulder to shoulder. It was the most celebrity studded event of the week so far and, a sign of the decadent and over-the-top autumn collection that was about to be unveiled.

For autumn 09 designers Dominico and Stefano railed against the gloom of the times, ‘we felt the need to dream…’ said Stefano Gabanna ‘just like a woman in a crisis; we put on more make up.’

Fun, optimistic sexy and as decadent as ever – in terms of escapism for a/w09 - nobody's doing it better than Dolce.
