Just in time for the social season, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are taking over Miami with fashion, glamour, and multi-faceted splendor. Residents and visitors to Miami can bask in the glow of men’s and women’s high-end fashion while browsing through artistic endeavors, including showrooms filled with luxury jewelry and watches, as well as performances and galleries highlighting global art and culture.
The Dolce & Gabbana Fashion and Art Extravaganza Takes Over Miami
The idea of finding entertainment in fashion shows isn’t a new idea, but this Dolce & Gabbana twist on the classic theme guarantees that Miami is the place to be this week. Expect fashion shows filled with completely unique, handmade designs with months of work going into each creation. The fatto-a-mano nature of the fashion is a beautiful accent to the vivid Miami backdrop.
The Future Is Golden
This year’s Design Miami theme is The Golden Age: Looking to the Future. Some of the most prominent Dolce & Gabbana motifs will be presented against golden mosaic and coordinating furnishings with a Midas twist. Two new motifs from the design duo will be introduced: DG Logo and Oro 24K. The primary events are located at The Four Seasons, the Luxury Living Store, and the Cardozo Hotel on Ocean Drive. Other significant events are found at the Miami Beach Convention Center grounds.
Experience a Sparkling Array of Culture and Beauty
Fashion isn’t the only art style to enjoy during the week’s events. Presentations cover a range of exciting installations and experiences with an even broader reach including many satellite events:
