March Madness in the Fall

I was flipping through the September 09 issue of Details and came across this picture (above) for Fall '09 for Dolce and Gabanna men's line and I let out an audible gasp (a good one).  

There's just something incredibly haunting and stylish and captivating in the aesthetic created by the clothing + the picture composition/lighting + the vampire-esque make up that really caught my attention.  

The details and the tailoring on these jackets are pretty breathtaking.  Although they're not the most practical pieces - they are something to behold.  My favorite is the blue on blue jacket on the far left... with the one sitting down just to the right with the red piping details coming in a very close second.

I may be inspired enough to create a marching band inspired jacket with something in my closet that I don't wear as much now... but that is probably a larger project than I can tackle with my meager sewing skills.  More to come if I actually muster up the gumption to give it a go...
