Dolce & Gabbana returned to Sicily for Alta Moda 2026, presenting its latest couture collection at Radicepura Horticultural Park. Surrounded by lush gardens and the Mediterranean landscape, the show drew inspiration from Sicily’s culture, colors, and natural beauty.
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana looked beyond traditional eveningwear, creating a collection filled with references to Sicilian femininity, ancient stories, and the natural elements of the island. The collection explored the relationship between women and nature, featuring floral inspirations, romantic silhouettes, and unexpected details.
The runway moved between different visions of femininity from delicate lace dresses and sculptural gowns to flowing silhouettes inspired by historical fashion. Floral motifs appeared throughout the collection, with hand-crafted flowers and nature inspired designs bringing a sense of fantasy to the presentation.
Among the standout creations were looks that played with volume, texture, and color, including soft pastels, rich jewel tones, and golden accents. Each piece felt connected to the surroundings, creating a visual dialogue between the gardens of Radicepura and the couture on display.
The Alta Moda show welcomed guests including Jennifer Lopez and Monica Bellucci. Lopez arrived in a custom Dolce & Gabbana creation featuring a crystal-covered gown from the Alta Moda Roma 2025 collection, paired with a matching cape and gold accessories.With Alta Moda 2026, Dolce & Gabbana continued their tradition of turning fashion into an immersive experience, using Sicily as both inspiration and setting for a collection that celebrated beauty, imagination, and the art of couture.
