As dusk settled on the southern coast of Sardinia, an exclusive gathering of 400 guests assembled on a candlelit terrace, eagerly anticipating Dolce & Gabbana‘s Alta Moda extravaganza. Against the backdrop of twinkling lights from anchored mega yachts, the atmosphere was set for an unforgettable evening of fashion and luxury.
The event debuted with a surprise performance by Christina Aguilera, whose powerful voice echoed across the sea, adding a touch of glamour to the already opulent affair. Guests, adorned in couture and dazzling jewels from Dolce & Gabbana’s Alta Gioielleria collection, mingled under the Mediterranean sky, enchanted by the allure of handcrafted Italian craftsmanship.
One American guest, resplendent in a green crochet caftan and golden micro mosaic earrings, spoke of her initial attraction to Dolce & Gabbana through their unique clothing designs, but it was the one-of-a-kind jewels that captured her heart. “It’s the handcraft element,” she remarked, emphasizing her appreciation for the distinctive Italian flair imbued in every piece.
The highlight of the evening was the unveiling of the Alta Gioielleria, featuring intricately filigreed bracelets and necklaces adorned with rare gemstones. However, what stole the show were pieces incorporating miniature bread sculptures—meticulously crafted and varnished—transformed into exquisite baubles adorned with precious and semi-precious stones.
The main event, Dolce & Gabbana’s women’s Alta Moda show, unfolded against the ancient ruins of Nora. Models adorned in flowing black dresses, accented with golden corsets and elaborate jewelry, navigated around Phillip K. Smith III‘s geometric sculptures, creating a mesmerizing interplay of light and reflection as the sun set.
Standout pieces included ethereal sheer dresses in sorbet colors and a shimmering silver gown evoking liquid mercury. The show culminated in a spectacular multicolored coat inspired by Sardinian traditions, crafted using artisanal techniques reminiscent of carpet-weaving, eliciting a standing ovation from the audience.
Dolce & Gabbana’s Alta Moda remains a pinnacle of haute couture, blending tradition with innovation to captivate discerning clientele with each meticulously curated showcase.
