Dolce & Gabbana Alta Sartoria show was held in Florence
Dolce & Gabbana became a special guest of the Pitti Uomo international men's fashion exhibition, which has been partially moved online due to the coronavirus pandemic - to the specially created Pitti Connect platform. It was there that the couture shows of the Italian brand were broadcast for those who could not come to the Florentine Palazzo Vecchio and Villa Bardini.
In atmospheric locations, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana presented the Alta Sartoria women's and men's collections, in the development of which the designers collaborated with local artisans: tanners, jewelers, embroiderers, gold leaf makers, feather specialists and silk printers. Together they created fur T-shirts with the coat of arms of Florence, embroidered T-shirts with portraits of the Medici family, three-piece silk moire suits and brocade robes in bright colors. To stylize the images, they used items also created by small workshops: Taddei Firenze leather chests, Argentiere Pagliai silver clutches, Vivian Saskia Wittmer slippers, Paolo Penko brooches and Traversari Mosaici medallions.
The Dolce & Gabbana Alta Sartoria gala show, marking a triumph of craftsmanship, mutual aid and return to work after the tough coronavirus pandemic for the fashion industry, began with the handover of the keys to the city. The symbolic act was attended by the mayor of Florence Dario Nardella and longtime friend of the Dolce & Gabbana house Monica Bellucci.
