The lingerie strand of their design DNA came shining through with polish be it in the corsets under suiting or the lace edges. Familiar elements such as polka dots, leopard prints, plenty of black lace and giant floral motifs were also revisited in this collection that was an updated retrospective of Dolce & Gabbana's 20 years of work.
