Viva la Mamma! Dolce & Gabbana celebrate motherhood in Milan

Dolce and Gabbana celebrated Mother's Day two weeks early yesterday with a stomping AW15/16 show in Milan. Viva La Mamma had a distinctly 1950's feel, with the clothes celebrating the hourglass shape, all whittled waists and wiggle dresses. Model Bianca Banti, who is six months pregnant, earned a round of applause as she sashayed her bump down the runway in pale pink, but the most stylish accessory of the day was a baby, with many of the models, dressed in variations of the black slip dress, carrying bemused infants dressed in white down the catwalk. Onlookers reported that, astonishingly, there were no tantrums at the event, and all the tiny models were extremely well behaved, despite the excitement.

Angels are dancing rock 'n' roll now you're not a dream, you're real hurray for mum because if I talk to you about her, you're not jealous Hurray for mum she's fond of that skirt that's a bit long always busy and always absolutely sure sometimes a bit severe hurray for mum hurray for the fairytale of the Fifties so far away and yet so modern and so magic Angels are dancing rock 'n' roll now it's not a jukebox, it's a real orchestra hurray for mum because if I talk to you you're not jealous Bang bang the alarm goes off bang bang you have to go to school bang bang just a minute to carry on dreaming Hurray for mum hurray for rules and good manners the ones I never managed to learn perhaps because of rock 'n' roll   [caption id="attachment_212952" align="alignnone" width="960"] Facebook.com/DolceGabbana[/caption]
