Sculptures come to life with ecclesiastical power and intricate decorations, characteristic of Haute Couture. Dolce & Gabbana presents its Alta Moda collection on the Via Sacra to commemorate Italian history and the excesses of the 1950s and 60s. This artisanal representation transports you through the surroundings, as if stepping into a time capsule.

Over the years, whenever Dolce & Gabbana has presented its Alta Moda collections, we've come to expect a cultural extravaganza with a nostalgic gaze towards their country of origin. This time in Rome, the procession wound through the city streets, where velvet capes, armor, and chiffon dresses began the parade, bearing the city's emblem.

This presentation takes contemporary textile manipulation techniques to another level, creating drapes with suspensions on the torso and molding on the body. At first glance, it feels classic, but the more you contemplate the pieces, the more you notice the juxtaposition of fabrics with decorations and armor, giving it a fresh and modern touch.

The definition of the feminine silhouette, using the popular technique of corsetry and lamb's wool, creates a polished finish that bridges the hip and the ruched skirts adorned with hand-painted artworks. The decoration was done with medium-sized crystals, making it clear that this collection is not just a detail; it's a work of art worthy of being seen from every angle.

Dolce & Gabbana's Alta Moda collection feels like a walking city, a secret hidden within every wall and every inch we step on in Rome. It demonstrates that the brand's narrative is more alive than ever, and its light is the history we sometimes overlook.
