One couple will receive an exclusive, six-night invitation to attend the 2025 Dolce&Gabbana Alta Moda event in Italy. The fashion extravaganza of the year, Alta Moda creations reveal a range of innovative design and masterful handiwork, exuding timeless elegance.

The Alta Moda event distills the essence of the fatto a mano (handmade) Dolce&Gabbana initiative, expressed “from the heart to the hands.” It encompasses the newest offerings in the realms of Alta Moda (high fashion), Alta Sartoria (high tailoring) and Alta Gioielleria (high jewelry).

Dolce&Gabbana Alta Moda has always been the dream of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. On July 9, 2012, when the first Alta Moda collection was presented in Taormina, Sicily, the dream turned into reality. Each collection is made of unique creations, the result of the inventiveness of Dolce&Gabbana in dialogue with refined local manufacturing, artistic heritage and the most authentic popular traditions.

As guests of Dolce&Gabbana, you’ll board a Business Class flight to the Alta Moda location and have access to experiential runway shows, glamourous receptions, Italian dinners and fabulous after-parties.

The locations chosen for the shows are transformed into evocative universes in which sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste converge. In addition to Taormina, previous sites for the Alta Moda have included Palermo, Milan, Venice, Capri, Portofino, Puglia and Florence. The 2024 event was held in Sardinia, where the exotic setting and vivid past served as an inspiration for Mr. Dolce and Mr. Gabbana.

Alta Moda is far more than just fashion. In 2024, the show’s opener was a spectacular reenactment of the religious procession that takes place every year in Cagliari, celebrating the city’s patron saint martyred in 303 AD. Hundreds of locals in their ceremonial costumes paraded on ornate carts carried by oxen, with rose petals and mint leaves strewn about. Christina Aguilera and Katy Perry performed onstage, and guests mingled with celebrities such as Naomi Campbell, Halle Berry, Choi San, Lucien Laviscount and Theo James.

The winning couple will also receive a unique, limited-edition Dolce Box handbag, which translates the aesthetic values of Dolce&Gabbana into a beautiful, handmade work of art. Wrapped in a romantic floral composition of sequins on a satin base, it reproduces a sophisticated bouquet of roses. Its shades of orange evoke the warm Mediterranean sunsets. Every detail, from the delicate roses that seem to bloom on the surface, tells a story of passion and craftsmanship. Enchanting, feminine and sensual, this Dolce Box expresses the spirit of Dolce&Gabbana. Unique and collectible, it is both an unforgettable accessory and a declaration of love for beauty and elegance.

This unique lot is a chance to immerse yourself in the height of fashion, art and history. Bid high and make it yours!
