For Dolcezza, fashion is far more than simply pretty prints. Every piece of their clothing begins with a work of art — a painting that moved the designer, sparked an idea, and ultimately became the blueprint for a pattern you wear. Dolcezza collaborates with world-renowned artists from around the globe, drawing inspiration from their unique visions and translating them into luxurious, wearable designs that feel both expressive and personal.
Below, we take you inside some of the Spring / Summer 2026 artwork that inspired this season’s Dolcezza pieces — and the stories behind the motifs that make them so special.
Blue Flowers — Amy Tieman
At the heart of the Blue Flowers print is a sense of delicate beauty and organic rhythm. Amy Tieman’s work often features floral forms that feel both bold and whimsical. Dolcezza selected this piece to echo its bright, expressive shapes — creating a print that feels like a garden in motion. Whether on airy dresses or relaxed separates, the Blue Flowers theme brings a fresh, artistic bloom to your wardrobe.
Summer in Santorini — Aziz Sulaymanov
This artwork transports you straight to sun-washed Greek islands. Aziz Sulaymanov’s compositions often evoke light, sea and sky — a celebration of Mediterranean colour and contrast. The Summer in Santorini inspired prints capture that effortless warmth and casual elegance, resulting in styles that feel perfect for holidays, seaside dinners or leisurely weekends.
Shoreline Flowers — Tim O’Toole
Tim O’Toole’s Shoreline Flowers conjures seaside blooms brushed by salt air and wind. It speaks of lightness, simplicity and natural beauty — themes that translate beautifully onto Dolcezza fabrics. The resulting garments carry a breezy freshness, perfect for warm days and soft summer evenings.
My Handmade Garden — Başak Erarslan
Başak Erarslan’s My Handmade Garden brings a crafted, intimate energy to the collection. Her work often layers playful objects and organic shapes, creating scenes that feel both personal and imaginative. Dolcezza’s interpretation keeps that spirit alive — dresses and tops that feel hand-assembled, expressive and joyfully unscripted.
Le rêve éveillé — Chantal Poirier
Translated as the waking dream, Le rêve éveillé has a gentle, almost dreamlike quality that resonates in the soft lines and motifs of the print. Chantal Poirier’s work often blends realism with impressionistic elements — a balance that Dolcezza carries into garments with relaxed silhouettes and thoughtful details that feel almost meditative in their ease.
Colors of Spring — Yuri Kraft
Yuri Kraft’s Colors of Spring is exactly what it sounds like — a celebration of season, light and lively hues. With joyful contrasts and an energetic palette, these works become prints that feel buoyant and bright. Dolcezza uses these artistic foundations to create clothing that feels like springtime in every season.
Why Art Matters to Dolcezza
Dolcezza’s approach isn’t about applying colour arbitrarily — it’s about capturing a feeling, a visual narrative, and letting that movement inform every swirl, petal and motif. It’s what sets them apart: patterns with personality, depth and a story to tell when you wear them.
Each artist brings something different — from calm sophistication to dynamic playfulness — and Dolcezza honours that by allowing the artwork to lead the design, not follow it. The result is wearable art that feels as meaningful as it is beautiful.
Every Dolcezza piece begins as a work of art. Behind each print is an original painting by an international artist, carefully translated onto fabric to create clothing that feels expressive, thoughtful and completely individual. In this feature, we explore the artists behind the collection — from bold florals and dreamlike landscapes to modern abstract colour — and share the stories, inspirations and creative processes that turn canvas into wearable art.
