Only industry historians have noticed that French fashion has been dead for at least a decade, as its corpse continues to be on display, festively embalmed with feathers and sequins.
This happens when the entire system is in the hands of a single person, who, devouring fashion houses with a bulimic appetite, has decreed that fashion should no longer be about invention and evolution (and therefore also risk), but a fake logo industry, where everything must be worth less and cost more.
In this bleak landscape, the work of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana seems like a breath of fresh air, speaking to us of beauty, culture, savoir-faire, and, above all, independence.
