Fashion / ShowDolce & Gabbana AW14Bejewelled knights in studded suits, fur and velvet jester stripes set a medieval sceneShareLink copied ✔️January 11, 2014FashionShowTextSusanne MadsenPhotographyLea ColomboDolce & Gabbana AW14 Initial reaction: Cesare Borgia from the Italian dynasty, the Borgias, if he'd been around today: lots of velvet, fur, studs and jewels. Atmosphere: Chamber music filled the space pre-show, setting a medieval scene. The runway became the corridor of a grand house, with dimly lit portraits, armour, and ornate black lacquered chairs. Iron candelabras hung over the wooden runway. Royal courts: Gothic cathedral prints sprung over velvet, suede and silk suits and sweaters, some bejeweled. Velvet stripe trousers and suits suggested court jesters, while the oversized, broad shouldered silhouette and studded panels imitated armour. How they wore it: With bejeweled crowns, and embellished knights gloves – some with red inlays, like they were dripping in blood. Wool balaclavas became knight’s chainmail hats. Viral moment: When Tony Ward closed the show in a dark as night velvet suit, winking at those in the front row.
