Exploring Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall 1997 Collection: A Blend of Sacred and Profane

Editor’s Note: This Dolce & Gabbana collection was presented in Milan in October 1997. It has been digitized as part of Vogue Runway’s ongoing efforts to document the history of fashion shows.

This week in Rome—not far from Vatican City, where the newly appointed Pope Leo XIV resides—Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana presented an Alta Sartoria collection populated from beginning to end with “haute priests.” Some of these men wore looks inspired by ecclesiastical garb, others pieces embroidered with religious symbols.

As proof that the catholic imagination was present in Dolce & Gabbana’s work long before the Costume Institute’s 2018 “Heavenly Bodies” exhibition, we revisit the label’s fall 1997 ready-to-wear collection, which might have been titled Il Papa and the Hot Mamas.

At this show, inspired by the religious processions of southern Italy, the sacred mixed with the profane, and austerity was contrasted by overtly luxe flourishes, such as fur collars and feathers (real and printed). In keeping with their perennial boy-meets-girl theme, sharp pinstriped suits shared space with sinuous corset gowns. Neckties even accessorized some of the more priestly looks. At this brand, holiness makes for good business.

With a nod to the traditional Catholic imagery that has influenced their designs, Dolce & Gabbana’s fall 1997 collection showcased a striking blend of sacred and profane elements. The collection, presented in Milan in October 1997, featured a mix of ecclesiastical-inspired garments and luxurious embellishments.

The runway was filled with “haute priests,” models adorned in looks that drew inspiration from religious attire and embroidered with symbolic motifs. The juxtaposition of austerity and opulence was a key theme throughout the show, with fur collars and feathers adding a touch of extravagance to the otherwise restrained silhouettes.

Sharp pinstriped suits were paired with sinuous corset gowns, creating a harmonious blend of masculine and feminine elements. Neckties were used as accessories to complement the priestly ensembles, adding a modern twist to traditional attire.

Overall, Dolce & Gabbana’s fall 1997 collection captured the essence of the Catholic imagination, long before it was celebrated in mainstream fashion. The brand’s ability to seamlessly merge religious symbolism with high fashion has solidified their reputation as pioneers in the industry.
