Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are encouraging men to wear skinny ties. They look like nice boys, so follow their lead.
For the women, meanwhile, it is still the femme fatale style of high stilettos, tight skirts and leopard prints, the signature styles of Dolce and Gabbana.
The fall 2008 collection has arrived at Jakarta's Dolce and Gabbana's only boutique at the Grand Indonesia shopping mall, Central Jakarta.
The front of the boutique was transformed into a temporary runway for a small preview of the fall collection.
Music filled the air as Jakarta's socialites gathered one by one at the boutique to watch the preview.
The men's wear was fresh and sexy with slim silhouettes.
The collection showed a nice combination of body fitting outfits -- shirts with narrow collars, skinny ties and fitting waistcoats -- and giant sized sweaters and coats.
Models adorn flat caps. Ikat scarves were wrapped around the models' necks, giving a comfortable look to them. Although, in the sweltering heat of Jakarta the jumbo sweaters and scarves would only be useful inside an air-conditioned room set at a very low temperature.
On the women's wear collection, a model adorned a chiffon sleeveless blouse with leopard prints and a gold and copper tight mini skirt. On the runway, models carry big bags, which were almost the obligatory accessory of the night.
A sexy combination of a black bustier with tight leopard print knee length skirt was one of the highlights of the show.
The show ended with the evening wear collection with models posing in dark chiffon dresses and male models in dark suits. For the socialites it was time to party.
