\n\tRather than a traditional showroom or store space, Dolce Vita has transformed a second-floor Williamsburg loft into a fully furnished home. Throughout this residency, the space will host dinners, editorial appointments, styling sessions and community gatherings, the company said.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe space also draws on the textures and influences of the brand\u2019s \u201cDesigned to Be Lived In\u201d fall collection, translating the campaign\u2019s focus on personal style into an environment that extends beyond footwear, handbags and accessories, Dolce Vita added.<\/p>\n
\n\tTo bring the loft to life, the brand has partnered with a network of female artists, designers and local creatives, including Gabriela Mifsud, Sophie Lou Jacobsen, Sophia Mullin, Julia Mervis and Zoe Johnston of Spilt Milk Collective, alongside local partners With Others Brooklyn<\/a> and Silence Please. Each collaborator will contribute to the residence and its month-long calendar of programming.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tAn image from Dolce Vita\u2019s \u201cDesigned to Be Lived In\u201d fall campaign.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCourtesy of Dolce Vita<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThe Flat is a natural expression of where we\u2019re taking Dolce Vita,\u201d Lisa Greenwald, president of Dolce Vita, said in a statement. \u201cFootwear has always been at the heart of our brand, but our customer\u2019s life is so much bigger than her shoe closet. As our collections continue to evolve, we\u2019re thinking about the many ways Dolce Vita can be part of that life.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tGreenwald added that as the brand grows, the company<\/a> wants to \u201cshow up\u201d more with elevated product and a point of view that \u201cfeels both premium and accessible.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThe Flat gives us an opportunity to build deeper relationships with our community, understand what resonates with her and bring her into the world we\u2019re creating,\u201d Greenwald noted. \u201cThis is a beginning, not just a one-off.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tInside the Dolce Vita Flat in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCourtesy of Dolce Vita<\/p>\n \n\tThe opening comes just months after Dolce Vita parent company Steve Madden Ltd.<\/a> reported that total revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 rose 19.1 percent to $665.9 million from $559.0 million, with net sales up 19.2 percent to $662.9 million from $556.1 million.<\/p>\n![\"Dolce](\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-wwd-2021\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\")
