Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana wouldn't dare stage a Disney princess runway show without all the majestic little details. The duo behind Dolce & Gabbana didn't disappoint show goers, who arrived at the Milan Metropol expecting to enter a fairy tale. As promised — in both the teaser for the Fall '16 presentation [1] and the musical invitation — the catwalk transformed into a ballroom when the clock struck 12, and the models slipped into character. Glittering dresses, printed coats, and even tough military sets promised that the clothes were for anyone [2] willing to play pretend — the princess, the prince, and the fairy godmother all included. Read on to witness the magic.
