The new Dolce & Gabbana flagship store on 5th Avenue in New York opens the doors with a special cocktail reception hosted by the designers and the famed fashion stylist Giovanna Battaglia. Enjoying in NYC a night of Italian hospitality, guests were able to see for the first time the impressive new three floor space. Becoming a distinct part of the city Dolce & Gabbana recently announced support of the Metropolitan Opera by helping the funding of Met’s titles in Italian for all the Italian operas in the current season repertory.
Making the evening more memorable was also a performance by celebrated Metropolitan Opera Tenor Matthew Polenzani and the Soprano Ellie Dehn. They wowed the guests performing pieces from the likes of Rigoletto, La Norma, Turandot, La Traviata as well as the ‘O sole mio.
Domenico and Stefano were joined by guests such as Kylie Minogue, Gisele Bundchen, Chloe Sevigny and many more (see in the images below).
