However, by closing their affordable D&G line in 2011 and repositioning their brand at the highest market level, the designers made a shrewd and ultimately wise decision. Since then, they have launched their Alta Moda women’s collection, followed shortly after by Alta Sartoria for men and Alta Gioielleria (High Jewellery). Elite fashionistas, royals, dignitaries and business executives around the world were instant admirers and eagerly started to splash out on the Alta Moda collections. For many of their Alta Moda shows, the Dolce & Gabbana dresses are sold in a matter of hours. During the first seasons after the launch of the Alta Moda line, Dolce & Gabbana explored Italy, taking a broad palette of inspiration and organising the women’s collection’s presentation for only a small number of selected guests at locations in Milan, Taormina and Capri.
