INTRODUCTION –

Dolce & Gabbana erected a runway structure within the 430 B.C. Temple of Concordia. And told the story of their Italian Island’s Ancient Greeks roots. They wanted to present their show in the Temple of Concordia because these structures like haute couture represented a sense of elevation to the Ancient Greeks who built them. The Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda Fall 2019 Haute couture runway show took place in one of the best-preserved Ancient Greek Temple. Fresh from the wonders of Ancient Rome and the Fendi show the splendours of Magna Graecia beckoned with the Dolce and Gabbana Alta Moda collection staged in the valley of the Temples in the shadow of the Sicilian town of Agrigento.
