Dolce & Gabbana is presenting its work in the French fashion capital for the first time in its 40-year history, Euronews reports.
The landmark exhibition, Du Coeur à la Main (From the Heart to the Hand), is more than a celebration of Dolce & Gabbana’s 40 years of Italian craftsmanship—it’s a tribute to the shared, interconnected history of fashion itself.
“The history of couture is global,” explained exhibition curator Florence Müller. “Embroidery, lace, brocade—they existed long before Parisian couture, in Italy, India, and beyond.”
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana first met in a Milan nightclub just five years before launching their company. At the time, both were working for fashion designer Giorgio Correggiari.
After working as colleagues for a couple of years, they began dreaming of creating their own clothing line.
In 1982, they took the leap, quitting their jobs to start a freelance design consultancy. By 1985, they had amassed enough capital to launch the iconic luxury brand we now know as Dolce & Gabbana.
Set across 1,200 square meters of the newly renovated Grand Palais, the exhibition features more than 200 looks from the company’s Alta Moda and Alta Sartoria collections, as well as 300 accessories and handcrafted objects, including Sicilian ceramics.
Highlights include a dress inspired by Venetian Murano glass, inlaid with glass mosaics by Orsoni Venezia 1888, the glassblowers behind the gold mosaics of St Mark’s Basilica.
The focus is on opera. A black velvet dress softened by gold embellishments channels the drama of Bellini’s Norma, while a romantic blue dress for Verdi’s La Traviata flows like an aria, its layers of tulle whispering of love and loss.
Meanwhile, brand icons like Sophia Loren and Naomi Campbell are immortalized in giant paintings.
Classic Italian opera and traditional Sicilian folk melodies provide the soundtrack throughout the spaces.
But Du Coeur a la Main is not just about ready-to-wear. Five seamstresses from Dolce & Gabbana’s Milan atelier work live during the exhibition, creating corsets, bustiers, and stays in front of visitors.
Sicily, the birthplace of Domenico Dolce, is at the heart of the collection. Traditional Sicilian hand-painted carts, ceramics, and lace-making techniques are woven into the couture.
But the exhibition also highlights fashion’s often-ignored global influences. “Luxury goods and artisans traveled more than we think,” Müller said. “The silks and brocades used in the Palace of Versailles were imported from India, and Italian craftsmen were hired to create the Hall of Mirrors… (Fashion) is a constant exchange and inspiration—this exhibition shows what time has forgotten.”
