The latest Dolce & Gabbana Alta Sartoria show comes following several years in which the Italian luxury fashion brand has capitalized on their male clientele.

“It’s not just a fashion show for cool clothes. It’s a moment, it’s history, it’s a relationship, it’s food, it’s Italian, it’s everything,” Domenico Dolce told WWD in a 2021 interview. “Couture is more about style of life. Prêt-à-porter is more fashion.”

Gonzalez joins a trend of young family members of high-profile public figures making a name for themselves in the fashion world. Beyoncé’s nephew, Julez Smith, made his runway debut during New York Fashion Week in February, walking the runway during the Luar fall 2024 show. He also attended shows for Louis Vuitton and Wales Bonner.
