Dolce&Gabbana Pre-Fall 2026: The Vibrant Spirit of the Carretto Collection

A celebration of Sicilian heritage, artisanal craftsmanship, and bold femininity through iconic prints and contemporary elegance

The new Dolce&Gabbana Pre-Fall 2026 Carretto Collection for women pays tribute to the rich cultural heritage of Sicily, transforming traditional artistry into a modern luxury statement. Inspired by the iconic Sicilian “Carretto”; the hand-painted carts famous for their vivid colours and folkloric motifs, the collection captures the essence of Mediterranean passion, authenticity, and femininity.

Flowing dresses, structured corsetry, tailored separates, and statement accessories are infused with vibrant floral patterns, ornate embroidery, and expressive patchwork details. The collection combines romantic Italian glamour with contemporary silhouettes, creating a wardrobe that feels both sophisticated and joyful. Dolce&Gabbana continues to emphasise its unmistakable identity through rich textures, lace accents, and sensual tailoring that celebrate the female form.

The Pre-Fall 2026 season also reflects the house’s ongoing dialogue between tradition and modernity. Feminine elegance meets relaxed styling, while artisanal craftsmanship remains at the centre of every look. Accessories, from embellished handbags to bold jewellery and printed footwear, complete the collection with unmistakable Sicilian energy.

With the Carretto Collection, Dolce&Gabbana once again reaffirms its deep connection to Italian culture and craftsmanship. The result is a vibrant and emotionally charged collection that brings together heritage, fashion, and storytelling in a distinctly modern way.
