London - With decadent curation and design, Art Adorned will celebrate important Old Master Paintings and Decorative Arts, curated alongside couture garments and jewels from Dolce&Gabbana’s Alta Moda and Alta Gioielleria Collections, tracing the enduring influence on fashion of centuries-old canvases and sartorial flourishes inspired by history. This exhibition will open to the public on November 22 running until December 3, 2019 at Christie’s London.
