Dolce & Gabbana’s Women’s Spring-Summer 2025 Collection celebrates the essence of Italian beauty through a bold, sensual, and self-assured female figure.
Drawing inspiration from the powerful women immortalised in cinema, the collection redefines femininity with a fresh interpretation of iconic elements, highlighting strength and allure.
An Homage to Cinematic Femininity
This collection pays tribute to the enduring appeal of women who embrace their identity while playing with it. With a nod to the iconic blonde figure that has shaped cultural ideals over decades, Dolce & Gabbana showcases a woman who owns her individuality with confidence. The collection merges this timeless inspiration with modern tailoring and an ironic twist on classic seduction.
Feminine Silhouettes & Sensual Designs
The garments are anatomically cut to accentuate the body’s natural curves, featuring tailored jackets and corset details that emphasise a powerful femininity. Dresses sculpt the body with precision, while cone bras and enhanced corsetry take centre stage, evoking the essence of Italian seduction. The signature Dolce & Gabbana elements—strings, laces, and hooks—further amplify this sensual energy.
Fabrics such as duchesse, crepe, tulle, chiffon, lace, and eco-fur delicately embrace the body, with a rich colour palette of black, nude, red, and white setting the tone. Floral prints inspired by the archives add a romantic touch, interwoven with the daring spirit of the collection.
Accessories Inspired by Iconic Divas
The collection’s accessories complete the look with oversized cross earrings, Sicily and Marlene bags, and mini beauty cases, reminiscent of the pin-ups and divas of the past. These timeless accessories pay homage to the unforgettable style of women who have redefined elegance and glamour throughout the decades.
A Continued Collaboration with Madonna
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana’s enduring relationship with Madonna has influenced their creative journey. “Madonna has always been our icon. It’s thanks to her that a lot of things in our lives changed,” said Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. The collection subtly echoes Madonna’s fearless individuality, honouring her role as a symbol of empowerment and transformation.
Over the years, Dolce & Gabbana and Madonna have created unforgettable moments in fashion history, from Madonna’s 1991 premiere appearance in a bodice studded with stones to the iconic tour costumes for Erotica and The Girlie Show. The legacy continued with their 2010 collaboration on the MDG sunglasses line, cementing her influence on the brand.
