There is no need to pretend every piece here is for the same person. The white poplin dress and two-piece set are for someone drawn to a strong cut and a clear line. The raffia bags and shoes are for someone who wants colour, texture and a visible logo. Carretto is for the shopper who came to Dolce & Gabbana hoping for exactly that kind of joyful excess.\n\nWhat makes this selection interesting is the contrast between them. The white pieces make the decorative work feel more deliberate, not less. Then the accessories show how much mileage the brand can get from raffia, shifting it from a small shoulder bag to a roomy coffa tote, flat slippers and heeled mules. The gold details recur, but raffia looks quite different across the small shoulder bag, coffa tote, slippers and mules.\n\nThe collection is at its best when it commits to one idea properly.
