Dolce & Gabbana runway shows were a throwback to a bygone era of superstar models, and latent sexuality for little more than the sake of vainness. Perhaps the label’s most interesting aspect was its ability to reconfigure military and BDSM signifiers into something that was not merely the lurid paraded about for the bourgeoise (as designers like Raf Simons and Hedi Slimane's work could at times be interpreted), but rather a full revarnishing of the aesthetic into works that emanated opulence alongside their more taboo connotations. 

A crucial piece from the defining Dolce & Gabbana season. These heavy weight grey jeans were spotlighted by the brand - they were featured in the season’s campaign, and were also highlighted in numerous contemporary editorials. They feature perpendicularly intersected bondage straps fastened by interspersed buckles, D, and O-rings.
