Whether it’s statement hats or strategically layered necklaces—choose your vice—self-proclaimed accessory junkies will know that a strong accessories game is what takes an outfit from zero to hero. Dolce and Gabbana’s autumn/winter 2020 offering made a strong case for both head-turning and understated accessories, showcasing a gothic lineup of arm candy, lace hosiery and rosary-inspired jewellery.
Alongside the knit and rose-heavy collection dubbed Fatto A Mano (which literally translates to ‘handmade’), the accessories were the unsung heroes that pushed the show’s message. Gothic lolita elements were spotted as encrusted heart emblems, bows and rosary pearl necklaces.
Baker boy hats came in a gamut of textiles, from houndstooth to corduroy. Victorian corsets were a notable styling moment, too—worn over billowy white rose-embroidered shirts. But the bags were arguably the star of the show: in true fatto a mano fashion, cable-knit purses were inspired by traditional Sicilian craft; while more subtle propositions included sleek pocket flap bags and black lace totes.
Below, we round up nine of the most compelling accessory moments from Dolce & Gabbana’s autumn/winter 2020 collection.
