Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana would showcase their couture offerings on U.S. soil - especially since the designers are known for hosting Alta Moda in classic Italian destinations, most recently in Milan, Sicily and Naples. But the cityscape atmosphere didn't deter from the Italian house's signature high-octane glamour.

The weekend kicked off with a presentation at the New York Public Library for Dolce & Gabbana's Alta Gioielleria high jewelry line on Friday, followed by the men's couture Alta Sartoria show at the Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center on Saturday and finally on Sunday, the women's collection debut at The Metropolitan Opera House.
