Dolce & Gabbana bringing ‘From the Heart to the Hands’ exhibition to Paris’ Grand Palais

The house of Dolce & Gabbana is bringing its acclaimed exhibition ‘Du Cœur à la Main: Dolce & Gabbana’, meaning ‘From the Heart to the Hands’, to Paris, for a 10-week residency in the Grand Palais starting in January.

The Paris edition of Du Cœur à La Main: Dolce & Gabbana will be staged inside the legendary exhibition hall from January 10 to March 31, 2025. It follows a highly successful debut at Palazzo Reale in Milan this spring, which was consistently sold out and garnered international approbation.
 
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 duo said in a release announcing the new expo.

The exhibition traces the extraordinary translation of their ideas, from the heart through to their realization, by hand. The exhibition also features work by visual artists in dialogue with Dolce & Gabbana’s celebrated designs.
 
Curated by Florence Müller, with scenography by Agence Galuchat and production 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 square-meters, it explores the brand’s unconventional approach to the world of luxury, characterized by elegance, sensuality and uniqueness, while also embracing humor, irreverence and subversion,” the house added.

 
Founded in 1985, Dolce & Gabbana began as the bad boys of Milanese mode, known for their unique blend of Italian cinematic glamour, snazzy tailoring and rock roll iconography. Going on to mature into brilliant haute couturiers recognized for their unique meeting of Sicilian sizzle and technical audacity, creating one of the dozen most watched fashion marques of the past half century.
 
Both archival and new collections are displayed in a series of themes in the exhibition, 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’.
 
Tickets will go on sale to the general public at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, November 20. On Tuesday, November 19, an exclusive 24-hour pre-sale will be offered to those who register their interest on the exhibition website.
