Dolce & Gabbana is ushering in the holiday season with a series of vibrant festive activations across the globe. The Italian luxury house—founded in 1985 by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana and known for its couture, accessories, fragrances, and beauty—has launched its Holiday Market project, transforming key international cities into immersive showcases of Italian craftsmanship and holiday cheer.

The Holiday Market features the iconic Carretto Siciliano motif—a colorful, folkloric symbol from Sicily traditionally used to decorate horse-drawn carts. This distinctive artwork, a signature of the designers, serves as the visual thread throughout the installations, bringing a nostalgic yet festive ambiance to each location.

Cities selected for the activations include:

• Melbourne (Chadstone Shopping Centre)

• Singapore (Takashimaya Shopping Centre)

• São Paulo (JK Iguatemi)

• Mexico City (El Palacio de Hierro Polanco)

• Daejeon (Galleria)

• Goiânia (Flamboyant Shopping Center)

These spaces have been redesigned with bold colors, intricate patterns, and immersive display areas that reflect the richness of Sicilian culture.

Showcasing the Dolce & Gabbana Lifestyle

The Holiday Market goes beyond décor, highlighting curated collaborations with renowned Italian brands. Visitors will find:

• Festive pastries from Fiasconaro

• Sicilian wines from Donnafugata

• Premium pasta from Pastificio Di Martino

• The iconic Bialetti Moka coffee maker

• Colorful kitchen appliances by Smeg

Together, these items spotlight the full Dolce & Gabbana lifestyle universe—from gourmet traditions to home design.

To mark the season, majestic Christmas trees are being unveiled in select cities, including Sydney’s MLC Centre and Singapore’s Takashimaya Shopping Centre. In Beijing, the SKP Café has also been transformed with a Carretto Siciliano-inspired theme.

In New York, Dolce & Gabbana’s Fifth Avenue boutique has undergone a dramatic holiday makeover. Sparkling trees, immersive displays, and rich Sicilian motifs fill the space, framing a curated selection of Dolce & Gabbana Casa items, bestselling books, and the brand’s latest beauty collections. Guests can also enjoy in-store tastings of Fiasconaro treats, featuring flavors like citrus, saffron, pistachio, and hazelnut—bringing the warmth of Sicily directly to Manhattan.
