WHEN DOMENICO DOLCE and Stefano Gabbana first discussed celebrating their Alta Moda, Alta Sartoria and Alta Gioielleria collections-the pinnacle of the body of work they've been building for four decades-an exhibition with a didactic parade of clothed mannequins wasn't even an option, Gabbana says. "It's not who we are." Instead, they concocted an immersive takeover of Milan's Palazzo Reale, transforming it into a series of tableaux of almost operatic extravagance rooted in the emotion and amore of Italian culture as translated by artisans into exceptional fatto a mano, or handcrafted, pieces.
Curated by French fashion historian Florence Müller (who previously put together Dior: From Paris to the World" and Yves Saint Laurent: The Retrospective), From the Heart to the Hands" will run in Milan till 31 July.
"Today, this idea of the atelier, of the savoir faire, is sort of mainstream," says Dolce. "But we've had the inhouse sartoria from day one-I was born and bred in a sartoria, and I'm always revisiting la giacca perfetta-the perfect tailored jacket." (Dolce's studio features both the original mirror from his father's sartoria and an image of a Madonna given to his father by a prominent archbishop.)
