Curated by renowned art and fashion historian Florence Müller, the exhibition showcases over-the-top installations that transport guests directly into the world of Dolce & Gabbana.

Beyond showcasing the designers’ aesthetic, the exhibition also emphasizes the craftsmanship that goes into bringing each piece to life. Attendees will get a closer look at how intricate beading, embroidery, and textile manipulation are employed to create the high-fashion garments for which the brand is renowned.
