Dolce and Gabbana forget Spanish controversy at Milan Fashion Week

Coiled in twisted sheet metal, or packed up like a work of art, the woman of Dolce & Gabbana for Autumn/Winter 2007/08 were the embodiment of eroticism with outfits that wouldn't look out of place in an S & M club.

The sexy and explicit collection, which showed on the sixth catwalk day of Milan Fashion week, was well received by the fashion elite audience with sincere applause.

Models, including the worlds top model, Gisele, strutted their stuff down the catwalk with metallic whips and eye masks wearing studded stilettos on the mirrored runway.

There were puckered leather dresses with waist pinching metallic belts alongside black leather corsets worn with scrunched foil strapless cocktail dresses all of which accentuated an hour glass figure.

The sparkly outfits were carefully crafted and well tailored with hard edged feel for what is an overtly modernist and forward thinking collection.
