Fashion Digital Programs of Fall 2022: A radical break with tradition

But this radical break with tradition is also an invitation to open our minds on what fashion content can be and can mean for the customer of today—and tomorrow!
It's no secret that the fashion industry is facing a digital transformation. Brands have to be able to adapt, or they risk being left behind.

Seeing clothes on a body seems to be a basic requirement nowadays for savvy consumers. These days, we're all looking for more than just an image; we want to see how our clothes fit and how they look in motion.

The ultimate muse and the contemporary diva. Kim Kardashian is the iconic symbol of today's woman, and she inspires us to live with confidence, independence and sensuality. The love for legendary #DolceGabbana pieces is our common denominator. For that reason, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana wanted to revisit the 90s and 00s archives to create a collection inspired by Kim: #DGSS23 Collection curated by Kim in person. It's a magical alchemy between their creativity and her inclusive vision of beauty.
