In 2017, Dolce & Gabbana talked up 'good feelings' about their Chinese customers
After their groundbreaking Alta Moda show in Hong Kong last year, the Italian fashion legends paraded exclusive women’s and men’s collections for their rich clients in Beijing, and say they just can't get enough of Asia
China’s wealthy followers of fashion love Dolce & Gabbana, and for Italian legends Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, the feeling is mutual.
“We have a very good feeling in our conversations with the Chinese customers when they come to Italy,” says Dolce of the Chinese clientele who fly in for the brand’s biannual Alta shows. “When you have good feelings, you love to share more, so here we are.”

Following Alta shows in Hong Kong and Tokyo, Dolce and Gabbana were in Beijing to present their “Ode to China” Alta Moda and Alta Sartoria (their version of women’s and men’s couture lines) collection.
“It’s our love for Asia,” says Gabbana at The Peninsula in Beijing, where fans including actress Zhang Ziyi and jewellery designer Bao Bao Wan watched as more than 100 outfits were paraded. “We started with doing the Alta shows in Hong Kong in December, the first time outside of Italy, and then decided to explore more cities.”
