Following its success in Milan, Paris, and Rome, where it got an exceptional public response, the exhibition From the Heart to the Hands: Dolce&Gabbana makes its U.S. debut with an installation at the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) in Miami.
To celebrate the event, on Friday, February 6 at 6:30 PM, at the Italian Cultural Institute of Miami (209 Altara Ave., Coral Gables), the IIC and Dolce&Gabbana invite the public to a conversation between the curator Florence Müller and Alberto Rocca, Director of the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana and member of the exhibition’s Scientific Committee. The conversation about the exhibition will explore how the Designers’ ideas are translated “from the heart to the hands,” through a language that blends elegance and sensuality with humor, irreverence, and a playful spirit.
The exhibition at the ICA Miami (61 NE 41st St.) will then be open to the public from February 6 through June 14, 2026. It features over 300 pieces from both archival and new collections, unfolding across a series of immersive rooms that highlight the different facets of the Designers’ vision and their constant reimagining of Italian heritage from a contemporary lens. Drawing on references that go from art and architecture to folklore and regional topographies, from artisanal craft to opera and ballet, as well as the abiding spirit of the dolce vita, From the Heart to the Hands: Dolce&Gabbana is a true love letter to Italian culture, which has always been a source of inspiration for the creations of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.
Reflecting the brand’s intention to position itself at the intersection of these diverse yet interconnected fields, the exhibition also features works by visual artists, including Quayola, Alberto Maria Colombo, Obvious, Vittorio Bonapace, and Felice Limosani, which enter into dialogue with Dolce&Gabbana’s creations.
