The brand's signature silhouettes like black sheath dresses and bodysuits were revisited with more glamour, highlighting bright colors, hand-stitched jewels and intricate embroidery.

Chinese and Russian influences were visible－a nod to the increasing clientele from these countries. Mink came with seductively see-through tulle or lace underneath.

The silhouettes of 1930s' Shanghai qipao were recreated with strapless tops and flounce skirts for an edgier and more sensual look. There were also references to Japanese aesthetics, as hand-painted brocade kimonos glided by.

After the 94-look show, guests enjoyed dinner on Dolce's home terrace overlooking Portofino, while the designers chatted and danced with the crowd. Dolce's little niece hopped around, and mimicked the dancing crowd.

Alta Sartoria, the men's couture show, was held the next evening at the century-old roof garden of Castello Brown, also known as the Castle of San Giorgio, which required another 20 minutes of hiking.

The first few looks emerged, and the crowd－some still panting from the hike－burst into applause.

Classic three-pieces and double-breasted suits－some of them heavily embroidered and hand-painted－were interspersed with bathrobe-inspired coats and kimonos. Alligator jackets and shorts employed understated colors.

There were also embellished robes with elements from Africa and the Middle East－other thriving markets of the brand.

An after-party followed the show. Clients tried pieces they were potentially interested in ordering in backstage fitting rooms.

The event was exclusively for clients and a few select media. Social media posts were banned during the show to ensure the collection's exclusivity.

Every piece was a one-off and was offered on a "first come, first serve" basis.
