A multi-day celebration of Alta Moda kicked off in Sicily with Dolce & Gabbana’s fine jewelry showcase.
As residents threw rose-petals from the balconies above, at the end of the street we hit another piazza, this one much bigger that the last, from one end of which was a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean. Within it, beneath some sprawlingly ancient fig trees, were the vitrines containing this season’s jewelry collection.
Here we were greeted by the town’s mayor, Stefano Castellino, who hinted at the pharmacist-revealed regeneration funds pumped into it by Dolce & Gabbana when he said: “Our eternal thanks to Stefano and Domenico for leaving a sign in this town that will never be canceled. This July 4th will remain forever in our hearts.” Next, on a stage in the palazzo courtyard in front of Lampedusa’s family’s leopard and palm tree crest, appeared Sylvia Mantella.
By this point it was getting close to midnight, and sorely aware that colleagues back in New York were poised to post this yarn so they could go out and celebrate July 4th, I headed back out to the piazza to write it. “I’m just a designer, but we know our history!” Dolce had joked earlier. This first course of this year’s Alta Moda was as dense with lovingly considered detail and effort as Lampedusa’s metaphorically telling macaroni pie. Tomorrow’s second course promises to be a blast.
