Dolce & Gabbana present their latest Alta Moda collection

Italian holidays, glamour and timeless elegance; lockdown restrictions could never stop Dolce & Gabbana from presenting a stunning collection that speaks so unequivocally to the brand’s inspirations.

For Alta Moda, Dolce & Gabbana’s answer to couture, the destinations—Capri, Sicily, Lake Como—are just as glamorous as the clothes on display.

This time around, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are marking summer, the return of la dolce vita, and their latest Alta Moda, Alta Sartoria, and Alta Gioielleria collections in a big way (albeit virtually).

Via a private site for Dolce & Gabbana’s coterie of clients, the Italian house is showcasing all three collections. The site includes a video with an old-school slide show featuring snapshots of the Duomo in Milan and gondolas in Venice, harking back to the golden era of international travel. (Remember international travel?)

MONICA FEUDI

Though there was no celeb-filled front row, the duo still brought the glamour with a collection inspired by Italian razzle-dazzle and travel and set in the house’s glamorous Milanese salon. Looking to everything from vintage postcards to inspire silk prints and trimming dramatic caftans and kimonos with no shortage of fur and feathers, it was a collection worthy of a Slim Aarons muse—or an Italian starlet.
