Dolce & Gabbana Runway Ad Campaign Red Mini Dress Ruched Arm Bands, 2003
By Dolce & Gabbana
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Red, baring and slinky, this Dolce & Gabbana minidress is designed to command attention. When it debuted in the spring/summer 2003 runway show on supermodel Gisele Bündchen, it led Vogue’s Sarah Mower to write, “power-womanhood is not extinct on planet Fashion.” And when Steven Meisel focused his lens on it for the season’s ad campaign, it became iconic—and highly collectible. Cut from a luxurious stretch viscose jersey, this LRD is crafted to drape beautifully on the body and accentuate its every move. Rather than hug every curve, it has an easy blouson top (that is even more full at the back) to leave more to the imagination and to balance the revealing deep V at its sides and the short skirt. Coordinating spaghetti straps and drawstrings funneled through a middle panel of the dress allow the wear to customize the fit and length. Wear the piece without or with the stunning ruched arm bands...

Questions About Patrick Kelly Evening Dresses and Gowns
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024
    Patrick Kelly is famous for his work as a fashion designer. The Mississippi-born designer presented his first collection in 1985 and quickly drew attention for his vibrant designs inspired by his Southern upbringing and African American heritage, as well as the gay club scenes of New York and Paris. He accessorized pieces like bodycon knit jersey dresses with bombastic details, including oversized bows, buttons and hearts. His joyous runway shows, which included mostly Black models, were also groundbreaking. He died on January 1, 1990, from complications from AIDS. Recent exhibitions like Patrick Kelly: Runway of Love, which debuted in 2014 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, have returned his bold and vibrant work to the spotlight. On 1stDibs, explore a range of Patrick Kelly pieces.
