Sharp tailoring, expressive layers, and a front row stacked with global stars.

At this year&rsquo;s Milan Fashion Week, Dolce &amp; Gabbana put masculinity itself on the runway and gave it a serious attitude adjustment. The theme? The Portrait of Man, in which according to the brand, it is where sartorial craft meets personal identity in a way that feels unmistakably Italian yet refreshingly expressive. The palette stayed sophisticated. Think rich neutrals, deep tones and classic Italian tailoring but the real star was the sense of identity in every piece. The tailoring was not rigid, yet it had structure. Layers were strategic with just the right amount of fabric.&nbsp;

There was a tension between quiet elegance and bold personality in the collection that made every look worth a second glance. A cashmere coat might be paired with unexpectedly relaxed trousers. A structured jacket might be warned up by subtle Italian flair; silken scarves, accented finishes, and textures that felt tactile enough to touch. In other words: clothes with stories. Classic pieces were reimagined. Oversized outerwear with an almost lived-in feel, knitwear that doubled as outer layers, and structured pieces softened with deliberate ease. It&rsquo;s clothes that you feel like you, but turned up just enough to make a real impression.

In a true sense of Dolce &amp; Gabbana, minimalism is never in the vocabulary when it comes to celebrity energy, and the front row at this year&rsquo;s show was pure headline material. South Korean actor Jung Hae-in was spotted wrapped up in a double breasted white suit, sitting next to the next big American superstar Benson Boone whose leopard print jacket commanded the whole room.
