MILAN --Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana presented a sharply tailored menswear collection at Milan Fashion Week on Saturday, showing long, textured coats and waist-length jackets to an audience that included Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
Entitled "Sleek," the autumn to winter line-up was mostly black, with touches of white, grey and denim.
In their show notes, design duo Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana said the aim of the collection was to channel "the recovery of values through quality expressed in all its forms."
As models emerged from an underground staircase, Bezos sat in the front row next to his partner Lauren Sanchez, whose son Nikko Gonzalez was on the catwalk.
South Korean singers Rowoon and Younghoon were also among those watching the show.

Earlier on Saturday, LVMH-owned Fendi brought a more informal look to Milan, with artistic director Silvia Venturini Fendi drawing inspiration from both urban and country life.
The color palette ranged from green to grey, and plum to dark blue.
Models wore long, pleated shorts inspired by Scottish kilts paired with leather boots resembling Wellingtons, and loose trousers tweaked with pleats.
Fishermen's coats and waterproof wax jackets added to the outdoorsy feel.

Meanwhile, Gucci creative director Sabato De Sarno kicked off Milan Fashion Week on Friday with a lineup of refined tailoring for men, adding touches of sparkle to a somber color palette for his aesthetic reset of the Kering-owned label.
Models strode down a sparse, concrete runway on chunky-soled loafers, parading floor-sweeping overcoats with long slits up the back, double-breasted suit jackets stripped of buttons and trousers cut above the ankles.
Accessories included shiny Jackie handbags in burgundy, beige or pea green -- often clutched with matching gloves -- and chunky jewelry worn over bare chests.
