Step behind the velvet curtain of fashion’s most exclusive stage with “La Dolce Vita,” a stunning visual journey into the heart of Dolce & Gabbana’s famed Alta Moda shows. Since 2012, these invitation-only events have redefined Italian elegance, transforming fashion into theatre with multi-day celebrations set in breathtaking, historic locations.

Captured by Matt Lever — one of the very few photographers granted behind-the-scenes access — this hardcover volume reveals the intricate choreography of these haute couture spectacles. Through over 300 pages of lavish imagery, Lever documents the anticipation, artistry, and human detail behind each silhouette: designers fine-tuning their vision, models in moments of quiet focus, and the hum of creative energy moments before showtime.

A true collector’s piece, La Dolce Vita is both an homage to craftsmanship and a rare backstage pass to the drama and devotion that make Alta Moda one of fashion’s most celebrated traditions.
