Using ModelForm to get labels in a DetailView

I don't know if this is good practice, but to get field labels in a DetailView, it seems to work fine if you just add a form to the context:

views.py:

class ItemDetailView(DetailView):

    model = Item

    context_object_name = "item"

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):

        context_data = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)

        context_data['form'] = ItemForm # just to get the labels

        return context_data

item_detail_view.html:

<div class="label">{{ form.name.label_tag }}</div><div class="value"> {{ item.name }}</div>

<div class="label">{{ form.notes.label_tag }}</div><div class="value"> {{ item.notes }}</div>

<div class="label">{{ form.asset_number.label_tag }}</div><div class="value"> {{ item.asset_number }}</div>

<div class="label">{{ form.serial_number.label_tag }}</div><div class="value"> {{ item.serial_number }}</div>

<div class="label">{{ form.network_name.label_tag }}</div><div class="value"> {{ item.network_name }}</div>
