With great effort, the designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana presented the designs of their exclusive men’s line in Venice. But in the end the weather thwarted them.
You were forewarned: Due to an announced storm, the designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana had already brought it forward. The men’s line’s creations were supposed to be presented at 7 p.m. local time, but due to the gloomy forecasts, the show was brought forward by an hour without further ado. Nevertheless, the weather put a spanner in the works for the two designers. At the end of the approximately 15-minute presentation, downpour set in and centimeter-sized hailstones fell on the models and the audience.
Numerous photos and videos in the social networks document the storm and show how prominent guests are trying to save themselves in the dry. Actors Helen Mirren, TV star Kourtney Kardashian and musician Sean Combs were invited to the show at the Arsenal in Venice. The designers themselves had just started the final exhibition when the hail started. The two Italians tried to protect themselves from the storm with their hands over their heads. Their models had to walk along the catwalk built in the water in the rain.

A journalist from the fashion magazine “Vogue”, who was there, describes the scenes as follows: “It got serious around 6:23 pm. Until then, we had only half an eye on the lightning bolts, which were close, but not close enough to worry excessively. But then the sky tore open (…) and hailstones about two centimeters in diameter pelted down. When they landed on the head, it hurt – and there were so many that they often landed on their heads. Then the screaming began. The guests tore the pillows from their places and used them as head protection. “
The day before, Dolce & Gabbana had shown their women’s collection, with Leni Klum and the daughters of Sean Combs walking down the catwalk. There, too, the weather was changeable. After the initial sunshine, the wind came up and at the end of the show there was also a downpour.
