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 Dali's dreamlike surrealism, Jackson Pollock's Action Painting, Basquiat's street art, and Keith Haring's graffiti.

About the Author

Domenico Dolce, born in 1958 in Sicily, near Palermo, began by working with his father in the family clothing business while studying fashion design. Stefano Gabbana, born in Milan in 1962, began working in fashion studios doing graphic design work. They became partners in life and then founded the Dolce&Gabbana company. Their debut dates back to October 1985, when the designers presented their first collection, achieving great success. Since then, Dolce&Gabbana has been on a constant and unstoppable upward trajectory.
