This past July, the Italian fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana celebrated the 10-year anniversary of its luxurious Alta Moda line with an event in Sicily, off the coast of Italy. Since the Alta Moda event was virtual in 2020, the 2021 and 2022 in-person events were much-anticipated by fashionistas around the world. This event is now over, so looking back, how did the event go?
Anniversary Event Location
Sicily is a large island off the southwest coast of Italy. High-end festivities such as celebrity weddings and fashion shows are often held in this region due to its stunning scenery, beaches, historical architecture, and vineyards that dot the hilly countryside. This incredible backdrop is an ideal setting to celebrate fashion, especially one with an Italian background like Dolce & Gabbana and the Alta Moda items.
Syracuse, the city on the island where the Alta Moda occasion was held, is well-known for its Roman and Greek traditions. Modern luxury truly met rich history at the 2022 Alta Moda anniversary festivities. Alta Moda is a lifestyle as much as a fashion brand, and Sicily was the perfect location to encapsulate that sentiment.
Attendees of the Anniversary Event
Many celebrities and other people in the realm of the rich and famous are fans of Dolce & Gabbana and, more specifically, Alta Moda. Pop star Mariah Carey, actresses Drew Barrymore, Lucy Hale, and Helen Mirren, as well as model Kitty Spencer, among many others, all came to the event dressed in beautiful Dolce & Gabbana gowns.
The lovely tributes that these attendees paid to the fashion brand now live on in fashion periodicals published across the globe. Anyone with an interest in high-end fashion can search the internet to enjoy and appreciate photos of the attendees walking the carpet in Syracuse. The innovative styles of Alta Moda continue to inspire people just as they did 10 years ago.
What People Are Saying
The reception of the 2022 anniversary event was overwhelmingly positive. For example, Harper’s Bazaar referred to the party as a “homecoming” that celebrated “perhaps its most Italianate expression,” that being Alta Moda. Vogue described the atmosphere of the event as that of an “Italian family wedding.” It is safe to say that those in the industry are already looking forward to the 2023 event!
