"Step into the world of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, Where magic and fantasy, legend and reality intertwine"

Florence Müller, exhibition curator

Dolce&Gabbana and IMG announce "Du Cœur à La Main : Dolce&Gabbana" (From the Heart to the Hands: Dolce&Gabbana) will open in Paris at the Grand Palais from 10 January to 31 March 2025. The Paris showing follows its highly successful debut at Palazzo Reale in Milan where it consistently sold out and garnered international acclaim.

Bringing together over 200 of the fashion house’s one-of-a-kind creations for the very first time Du Cœur à La Main : Dolce&Gabbana is an open love letter to Italian culture as the enduring inspiration for Domenico Dolce’s and Stefano Gabbana’s designs. The exhibition traces the extraordinary translation of their ideas, from the heart through to their realisation, by hand. The exhibition also features work by visual artists in dialogue with Dolce&Gabbana’s celebrated designs.

Curated by Florence Müller, scenography by Agence Galuchat and produced by IMG, the exhibition celebrates Dolce&Gabbana as a symbol of Italian style, following the dreams of Alta Moda. Unfolding over a series of ten rooms covering 1,200 msq, it explores the brand’s unconventional approach to the world of luxury, characterised by elegance, sensuality and uniqueness, while also embracing humour, irreverence and subversion. Both archival and new collections are displayed in a series of themes highlighting the many layers of Italian cultural influences at work in Dolce&Gabbana’s approach to fashion design. These themes include art, architecture, artisanal craftsmanship, regional topographies, music, opera and ballet, folk traditions, theatre and of course – “la dolce vita”.
