From the Heart to the Hands: Dolce&Gabbana arrives at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami.

Studies show that simply viewing art boosts overall health and well-being. When interacting with meaningful art, a brain region associated with introspection is engaged. Aesthetic experiences also promote positive infusions such as social connection, empathy and cross-cultural understanding. 

From the Heart to the Hands by Dolce & Gabbana is now on view at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami after sold-out runs in Paris, Milan and Rome.  

The exhibition—which is on view through June 14, 2026, and brings together more than 300 couture and accessory pieces—looks at the ideas, inspiration and craftsmanship behind the fashion house.

The show traces how concepts from Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana move from an initial idea to the finished piece, all made by hand. It’s a rare chance to see the creative process behind some of the brand’s most recognized designs. lsartprojects.com
