The exhibition, which was launched in Milan on April 7 until July 31 at the Palazzo Reale, will tour worldwide, and celebrate the fashion house as a symbol of Italian glamour, exploring its approach to unconventional luxury – elegant, sensual and unique, yet humorous, irreverent, and subversive.

Curated by Florence Müller, and produced by IMG, the exhibition will also feature responses to Dolce & Gabbana’s designs by visual artists.

The archive and new collections will be displayed in a series of themes highlighting the many layers of Italian cultural influences at work in their approach to fashion design – these include art, architecture, artisanal craft, ballet, cities and their regional topography, music, opera, popular traditions, theatre and of course – “la dolce vita”.
