Turns out we're not the only ones hooked on the Winter Olympics, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have been watching, too, and today turned out an entire D&G collection inspired by the cold white stuff.

With their runway decked out like a pristine Alpine chalet and the girls sporting ski goggles (crystal-embellished, of course) and big furry boots, the whole event was like a super-styled version of Vancover 2010 (minus the beefed-up ice hockey players).

For a fashionable day on the slopes, the D&G boys turned out sexy fair-isle bodysuits and chunky cable-knit scarves, while for the après ski, little velvet tunics, sheer pussy-bow blouses and dresses (many sporting chic knit-pattern prints) and satin bloomers are guaranteed to keep temperatures well above zero.

Meanwhile, for those of us without a holiday home in Whistler, the chunky grey jumper dresses, fabulous coat-igans and variety of tux jackets are going to be great additions to our winter wardrobes (and guaranteed to be ripped off by the high street in a matter of weeks).

Suddenly the prospect of another winter white-out next year doesn't sound quite so bad after all.
