As the roiling heat of Milan’s summer solstice engulfed Viale Piave, something curious stirred: Dolce & Gabbana, turned their Spring/Summer 2026 show into a full-fledged street
spectacle. Their new menswear collection, dubbed Pyjama Boys, wasn’t just confined to the white-walled runway inside. No, the fiesta spilled out onto the pavement, blurring the line between catwalk and curb
with a finale that brought models and high fashion into the heart of the city along with streetstyle stars, writes Jeanne-Marie Cilento. Photographs by Andrea Heinsohn and Jay Zoo

CROWDS had already gathered long before the Dolce & Gabbana show began,
smartphones ready, anticipation crackling in the air. What they got was far
more than a glimpse of celebrity guests or well-dressed attendees: they
witnessed the runway come alive in real time.
Shirtless models in
pastel-striped pajama sets, slouchy tailoring, and terry-cloth slippers
sauntered directly onto the street, their silhouettes glinting with
hand-applied crystals. The impact was theatrical, but not staged ~ it felt loose,
lived-in, and joyfully unfiltered.
Outside Dolce & Gabbana's Metropol theatre, where the show was held, the vibe was equally magnetic. Streetstyle enthusiasts, including fashion students, stylists, tourists, even nonnas with
gelato, mingled with the D&G faithful, many dressed in their own playful
interpretations of the theme: printed silk robes over jeans, loafers with bare
ankles, oversized sunglasses at sunset. The atmosphere was pure Italian
theatre, where fashion and daily life entwined.
The pleasure of the moment wasn’t just in the clothes. It was
in Dolce & Gabbana’s ability to reframe the street as stage, inviting Milan
itself to become part of the show. The photographers snapped away, not just at
the models, but at the interactions ~ fans offering flowers, strangers
clapping, fashionistas documenting every detail.
As one model in a voluminous white polka-dot shirt and dark D&G sunglasses strutted past a Vespa, it was clear: this wasn’t a finale, it was a manifesto.
Pyjamas, in all their relaxed glory, weren’t a gimmick. They were a
rebellion against stiffness, a celebration of ease, a wink to the past and a
nod to now.
