Fashion shows are back in full swing, and this weekend saw the return of the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda show, which took place at the Piazzetta San Marco in Venice, with 450 guests in attendance.
The event saw the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Monica Bellucci, Heidi Klum and others fly to Italy to take in the dreamlike new couture collection, which was made up of 100 precious looks in silks, brocades, velvets, glass and crystals, embroidery and special fabrics.
Models and guests arrived on gondolas to a performance from Jennifer Hudson, where they then sat front row to view the spectacular show, and were later treated to dinner at Rialto Market, marking a long-awaited return to the catwalk show for many who won’t have been able to attend a real-life presentation since March 2020.
“For us, Venice represents the perfect harmony of opposites that attract: it is romantic and sensual, melancholic and joyful, rational and visionary, luminous and nocturnal, sacred and profane, dark and golden,” Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana said in a statement after the show took place, of why they had selected Venice for their latest show. “It is the city of Casanova, of the Carnival, of the historic regatta on the Grand Canal.” (с)
