The ever life-enhancing Dolce & Gabbana is bringing a burst of radiant Sicilian sunshine and style to Covent Garden’s East Piazza to brighten up the festive season, whatever the weather. The luxury house presents a special Holiday Market pop-up featuring its happy colours and characteristic symbols of Sicilian folklore. With its signature bright, fun, maximalist aesthetic, Dolce & Gabbana showcases its fabulous bold prints and high-fashion designs alongside a pick of desirable accessories – including sneakers and bags – and home and lifestyle ranges, plus the opportunity to buy an exclusive T-shirt with a special themed print, only available in Covent Garden this winter.

The charming, rustic Sicilian cart decoration, one of the most representative motifs of the house’s creative world, is also the backdrop to a range of delectable collaborations with the best of Italian luxury food brands such as Fiasconaro, Pastificio Di Martino, Donnafugata and Baci Perugina, offering a selection of products, from the best panettone in beautifully Dolce & Gabbana-designed tins to delicious chocolates, all robed in bright and attractive packaging.


And when you’ve indulged your present buying – for others and yourself – strike a pose for your social media as the Dolce & Gabbana takeover has been transformed into the perfect backdrop and has also personalised the famous Covent Garden swing bench, making for the perfect moment to capture la dolce vita.
The Dolce & Gabbana Holiday Market pop-up is open at Covent Garden East Piazza until 15 January 2023
