An exhibition like an "open love letter to Italian culture" is said by the Italian luxury labelDolce & Gabbana. And this love can be felt in each of the exhibition rooms. Italy is not only the home of the two designers Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana, but also their great love and inspiration. Just think of the handbag icon "Sicily" or the colorful Sicilian prints.
And so this first exhibition seems to be a surge of the designer duo-in front of her home country, before creativity, but especially before the perfection of craftsmanship. Opened in Milan last year, "Du Cœur à la Main: Dolce & Gabbana" has now conquered the Grand Palais in Paris.
