“From the heart to the hand”, as the event is dubbed, explores the creative process of designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana in “an open letter to Italian culture”, according to the press release for the exhibition.
Mixing past and current collections, curators chose pieces reminiscent of Italian paintings, antique mosaics and aristocratic garments.
Each room embodies a specific historical period, geographical area or cultural feature of Italy that infused the work of Dolce and Gabbana.
The famous duo started their couture adventure after successfully launching a pret-a-porter brand in 1985.
The Paris exhibition will last until March 31.
