Illuminating Fashion History - From the Heart to the Hands: Dolce&Gabbana

On the 6th April, From the Heart to Hands: Dolce&Gabbana, opened its doors at Palazzo Reale Milano, welcoming esteemed guests to the grand halls of the exhibition. Supermodel icon, Naomi Campbell opened the ceremony, inaugurating an evening of celebrations, from a tour of the rooms hosting the display to a fine dining experience. Every detail of this special exhibition has been meticulously orchestrated from ambient and theatrical lighting to scented rooms. This is an open love letter to Italian culture as the enduring inspiration for Dolce&Gabbana’s fashion designs, tracing the extraordinary translation of Domenico Dolce’s and Stefano Gabbana’s ideas, from the heart through to their realisation, by hand. 

Embark on a journey through the rich tapestry of Italian fashion culture with Dolce&Gabbana's latest exhibition. Produced by IMG, 'From the Heart to the Hands: Dolce & Gabbana', curated by Florence Müller is an unprecedented exhibition that pays tribute to the values of Fatto A Mano (hand-made), and delves into the creative imagery and cultural references that underpin the essence of the iconic fashion house that have been essential since its founding.

ERCO helped bring this vision to life, working closely with IMG to provide innovative lighting solutions which accentuate every intricate detail of Dolce&Gabbana's masterpieces and bringing a romance and drama to the atmosphere of the rooms.

Using ERCO’s Uniscan “M” and Optec “S” spotlights adds an extra layer of depth and spectacle to the exhibition, ensuring a truly immersive experience for visitors. ERCO worked throughout the entire process in partnership with IMG, who produced the exhibition. The exhibition lighting is integrated with Casambi technology, bringing flexibility and adaptability. With a diverse variety of interchangeable lens units used to allow precise lighting of every element, Dolce & Gabbana’s wonderful creations are illuminated with 3000K colour temperature LEDs. The luminaires truly showcase this fashion art and history in the best light.

The exhibition offers a glimpse into the soul of the Dolce&Gabbana brand. The world premiere, led by Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana themselves, marked a momentous occasion in fashion history.

The exhibition, which launched in Milan, will tour worldwide, celebrating the brand as a symbol of Italian style, following the dreams of Alta Moda, and exploring its unconventional approach to the world of luxury: elegant, sensual and unique, yet humorous, irreverent, and subversive.
