The artistry and craftsmanship of Italian haute couture will be on display in The Gift of Fashion: From the Maria Manetti Shrem Haute Couture Collection, opening Oct. 14 at the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art at the University of California, Davis.
Visitors to the free museum will have the rare opportunity for an up-close view of seven couture gowns by designers Roberto Capucci and Dolce & Gabbana, and pieces of jewelry designed by Dolce & Gabbana, Bulgari and Scavia, all on loan from the personal collection of the museum’s namesake, Maria Manetti Shrem.
