Fashion is a form of art. It expresses emotion and spreads messages. Perhaps no fashion house does a better job of revealing the tight link between art and style than Dolce & Gabbana.
This leading name within the fashion industry produces wearable art and is going a step further by embracing its artistic side with the Alta Mode exhibition in Palazzo. This display brings life to the many lines from Dolce & Gabbana through providing an artistic look at the brand and its Italian influence.
About the Alta Moda Exhibition
“From the Heart to the Hands: Dolce & Gabbana” premieres to the public on April 7 and runs to July 31, 2024, in Milan at the Palazzo Reale. It is a celebration of Italian culture, which has been an inspiration for the brand, and the work of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. The creative duo built the fashion house into what it is today, and this exhibition is a way to pay honor to them.
It is a look at how the love of Italy and its culture led the designers to build the brand into what it is today. It literally shows ideas to finished products, and how the culture impacted every decision Dolce & Gabbana made as they built the fashion house.
The exhibition also showcases the brand’s commitment to Alta Moda. The Dolce & Gabbana approach to high fashion has been a way for the brand to show off its desire to produce feminine elegance. The inspiration is a mix of Italy and the fashions of the 1950s and 1960s. It is a presentation of how the brand does haute couture.
The exhibition is from curator, Florence Muller, who carefully chose the different pieces to bring together something that is fully Italian while also being true to the Dolce & Gabbana image. After the run in Milan, Muller is taking the exhibition on an international tour, allowing the world to take in the beauty and style of this Italian celebration.
A Peek Into the Showcase
The collections within the exhibition will be both old and new. Pieces worn by celebrities and newer creations will come together to provide a well-balanced look at the fashion house. Lavish adornments and bold choices are a common theme in the exhibition.
The fashions are luxurious, sensual, unique and elegant. They are also quirky and subversive, showcasing all sides of the Dolce & Gabbana label.
What makes this exhibition unique is the intentional addition of visual artistry found throughout. It also incorporates opera, theater, music, ballet and architecture to really show off the influence of Italian culture. The displays will show how Italy lives within every aspect of design from Dolce & Gabbana.
