A book where art and fashion merge in a blend of knowledge, passion, creativity, and beauty. The pure distillation of the Dolce&Gabbana spirit.
Since the 1990s, Dolce&Gabbana has consistently taken inspiration from the world of art, drawing upon the evocative power of painting and sculpture to enrich its collections. This dialogue with the artistic world became even deeper and more structured with the launch of Alta Moda in 2012 and Alta Sartoria in 2015. These two key chapters in the fashion house’s history established an even closer and more conscious connection between sartorial creations and great masterpieces of art, celebrating their uniqueness, excellence, and timeless beauty in, for example, a dress with Vincent van Gogh’s Sunflowers, or a cape embroidered with Caravaggio’s Basket of Fruit.
This book richly illustrates all the artistic sources that inspire the fashion house: from the great Italian Renaissance masters, such as Leonardo, Botticelli, Titian, and Raphael, to the various contemporary movements, like Dalí’s dreamlike surrealism, Jackson Pollock’s Action Painting, Basquiat’s street art, and Keith Haring’s graffiti.
