Dolce & Gabbana Literally Brought Disney Fairy Tales to Life on the Runway

Fairy tales were the theme at Dolce & Gabbana's fall 2016 show in Milan recently.

The set featured a giant gilded carriage straight out of Cinderella and a black and white checkerboard runway grand enough for a royal ball.

The collection itself included many modern interpretations of outfits and themes familiar to anyone who has ever watched an animated Disney fairy tale.

There was, of course, a Cinderella dress, albeit midi length and furry.

It even came with a pair of "glass" slippers and a matching handbag.

​

The mice who made Cinderella's original dress in the Disney movie got a shout-out in the collection as well.

​

Although none of them were anywhere near as adorable as Gus.

​

Other interpretations were less literal. There were shades of Cogsworth from ​Beauty and the Beast​ in one dress.

​

Another dress featured a mirror embellishment that looked like a hybrid of Belle's hand mirror from ​Beauty and the Beast​ and the Evil Queen's mirror in ​Snow White.

​

A number of outfits featured details straight out of ​The Nutcracker​, which might not be Disney per se, but is certainly well within the fairy tale theme. 

​

​

There were bags designed to look like stacks of old books and clocks set to just before midnight, when Cinderella's spell would be broken.

​

​

What the show lacked in literal recreations of fairytale looks, it made up for in whimsy.

​

And the finale featured dozens of glittering dresses perfect for any modern princess wannabe to dance all night in.
