Giovanna Battaglia may have done Capri best — her blowout wedding to Oscar Engelbert touched down on the small Italian island in early June — but she’s not the only fashion-adjacent jet setter descending on the island this summer. Designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana staged their Spring 2015 couture collection in Capri two years ago, and it hasn’t been the same since. Against a backdrop of gem-toned turquoise waters, picturesque architecture, and seemingly flawless weather year-round, it’s the ideal setting for an Instagram. Here, we round up a few of the best, from “ultimate summer diva” Mariah Carey to Karlie Kloss and beyond.
