Dolce & Gabbana keeps its commitment to young designers. Brazilian designer Karoline Vitto is the new designer to take part in “Supported by Dolce&Gabbana", The project of the Italian fashion house involves emerging designers providing them with visibility and creative support. Miss Sohee, Matty Bovan, Tomo Koizumi previously participated in the program.

Vitto will receive financial, logistical, and PR support from Dolce&Gabbana to stage her first solo show during Milan Fashion Week in September.

Born in Brazil, the designer studied at Central Saint Martins and she did a degree in fashion design at the Royal College of Art. In 2020, she founded her label, presenting her first collection last September as part of the British Fashion East incubator. Vitto is known for her size-inclusive designs that celebrate the body and curves of authentic female beauty.

"Karoline Vitto's work respects the curves and folds of women's bodies, putting them at the centre of her designs. Her inclusive approach, the study of form, the celebration of self-confidence and the responsible use of materials are at the forefront of the young designer's creativity, finding many values in common with the dna of Dolce & Gabbana," explains the luxury maison in a statement.

"With Karoline and her work, it was love at first sight: we share an ideal of beauty that is truly authentic, that doesn't care about sizes or canons, but is the expression of a deep state of soul. Her creations reveal the tenderness of form through cuts that let the skin show through, stretch fabrics, steel rods that embrace the folds of the skin and remind us how beautiful it is to feel free to wear what you want," added Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

It’s an honor to receive such immense support from Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana to present our first solo show at Milan Fashion Week. I must thank the Dolce&Gabbana family for providing me with this opportunity and encouragement and for the outpouring of care I have received from the team.
