Why do we love Dolce & Gabbana SS 2003 collection so much?

Fashion lovers will instantly recognise this collection — Dolce & Gabbana SS 2003 ready-to-wear is just too iconic!
⠀
The show featured a stellar model line-up, with Eva Herzigova, Naomi Campbell, Amber Valetta, Stephanie Seymour, Gisele Bündchen, and Natalia Vodianova strutting the runway.
⠀
Models were clad in punk and S&M-inspired outfits, with criss-cross lacing, chunky metal hardware, lots of leather belts, black lace, and tight silhouettes. Many were wore a metal necklace, reading “S E X”, others — “L O V E”.
⠀
It was an amalgamation of a variety of influences and previous styles that Dolce & Gabbana presented in the previous years. For example, similar design features were seen in their earlier shows, such as criss-cross lacing, excessive belts, or black lace. The SS 2003 collection combines all these features, turning up the sex appeal to its peak.
⠀
This collection most certainly plays into the early 2000s’ erotic maximalism — this is why it’s probably one of the first that comes to mind, when thinking of this fashion decade to this day.
