Once upon a time in Sicily...

Once upon a time in Sicily... The Dolce & Gabbana show is always a highlight, the last couple of presentations becoming more fashion theatre than fashion show! 

This season the models stepped straight out of a fairytale and down the runway, all woodland creatures and ladies in shining armour! And just take a look at that set, still getting over the fact that the tree centerpiece actually emerged twirling out of the ground!
