CONTEMPORARY QUEENS
Some of the greatest European painters were the masters that
inspired Domenico Dolce to photograph beautiful women,
something that began two years ago during his Alta Moda event.
Iconic images that are now in an extraordinary book that also
presents 140 inspiring illustrations.
Domenico Dolce was the photographer, designer and tailor of
this project. He chose and prepared the clothes, accessories and
jewellery for each of the ladies, transforming them into contem-
porary queens.
by Domenico Dolce
These queens were dressed in Dolce&Gabbana Alta Moda and
Alta Gioielleria creations, in a sumptuous and opulent set of Ba-
roque interiors. Domenico’s compositions are not only a tribute
to feminine beauty and charisma, but a revitalisation of the im-
age of sophisticated and timeless luxury.
The 40 paintings highlight an array of artist, from Bronzino to
Vigée Le Brun and from Tiziano to Mengs, showing the most fas-
cinating princesses, empresses and noblewomen of the past five
centuries, creating a picture gallery between the past and present.
