Miami’s Design District is set to get a dose of Sicilian glamour next spring, as a blockbuster fashion exhibition will make its American debut at Miami’s Institute of Contemporary Art.
After drawing crowds in Milan, Paris and Rome earlier this year, "From the Heart to the Hands: Dolce&Gabbana" is set to run from February 6 to June 14, 2026 on this side of the Atlantic. The exhibition is curated by Florence Müller, best known for the iconic "Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams" exhibition in London, one of the best-attended fashion productions of its kind ever.
The immersive show dives into the creative universe of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, showcasing more than 300 pieces from both archival and recent collections, spanning the label’s Alta Moda couture to its sometimes wacky, always one-of-a-kind accessories. Each room showcases various facets of Italian culture—ranging from opera to architecture—through the designers’ lens.
The Miami edition of the exhibition has been reimagined for the Institute of Contemporary Art, featuring a set design by Agence Galuchat and collaborations with contemporary artists like Quayola, a London-based Italian visual artist, and Obvious, the Paris-based collective that famously sold an AI-generated artwork at Christie’s for $432,500. The end result blurs the line between couture craftsmanship and digital art, creating something akin to a gallery within a fantasy atelier, tracing how the fashion superstars have long mined Italian heritage for inspiration, from Sicilian mosaics to Renaissance silhouettes.
Tickets go on sale on November 19, with a 24-hour pre-sale on November 18 for early registrants (sign up for that right here); adult tickets start at $30.
