Dolce & Gabbana has done what other fashion house hasn’t thought of doing before – they proved that a pregnant woman can also be fashionable with a huge baby bump; and we’re just too excited about this diversification.
Usually, we see a lot of skinny and underweight models on the runways, but the case of Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2015 runway show was different. Yseterday in Milan, Dolce and Gabbana paid a glorious tribute to mothers in their fall 2015 show.
The show featured gorgeous moms and their kids walked down the runway in dresses that are printed with kid scribbles like the famous Angelina Jolie’s wedding veil.
According to ELLE, the collection was an ode to the elegance, the beauty, and the resilience of the mom.

The backdrop for the runway show—revealed dramatically to audible “awws”—was a tableau featuring gorgeous 2 moms and their kids. (Props to the moms who held their babies the length of the show, and to the baby who clapped every time the audience clapped.)

When a very pregnant model walked the runway in an elegant dusty rose sheath, the audience erupted in applause. They cooed when a model in an ornate embroidered dress walked the runway with her bouncing baby in tow.

Set to a playlist that was a mix of kids’ songs and soulful tributes to moms, the show, which easily could have come off as saccharine, played perfectly—which is to say, it was cute, very cute, without being overly sentimental.

And Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana must have had the fashion gods looking down on them this morning because, despite sending some of the least predictable little models down the runway, not one baby cried. We’d love to know what North West would have to say about that.
Below, read the song lyrics that accompanied the show notes.
Hurray for Mum
Edoardo Bennato
Hurray for mum
she’s fond of that skirt that’s a bit long
so elegantly Fifties-style
always so straightforward
Hurray for mum
hurray for women with both feet on the ground
the smiling beauty queens of the postwar years
with their hair just like hers!
Angels are dancing rock ‘n’ roll now
you’re not a dream, you’re real
hurray for mum because
if I talk to you about her, you’re not jealous
Hurray for mum
she’s fond of that skirt that’s a bit long
always busy and always absolutely sure
sometimes a bit severe
hurray for mum
hurray for the fairytale of the Fifties
so far away and yet so modern
and so magic
Angels are dancing rock ‘n’ roll now
it’s not a jukebox, it’s a real orchestra
hurray for mum because if I talk to you
you’re not jealous
Bang bang the alarm goes off
bang bang you have to go to school
bang bang just a minute
to carry on dreaming
Hurray for mum
hurray for rules and good manners
the ones I never managed to learn
perhaps because of rock ‘n’ roll
