Here is your sneak preview of the Dolce & Gabbana Men S/S 2012 ad campaign.
Imagine life in a Southern Italian village, imagine scenes of an Italian-style comedy.
And now, imagine a campaign as a film interpreted by real actors such as Francesco Scianna, Filippo Nigro, Giuseppe Fiorello, Chiara Francini (just to name a few).
The main theme of this campaign is actually the Italian cinema, a continuous source of inspiration for the famous Italian designer duo Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana throughout their career.
The photos shot by Mariano Vivanco highlight the values of Dolce & Gabbana: the Italian spirit, tradition, family, love but also the ability to render the past contemporary, to capure its modernity.
I like and you?

Finally, Dolce & Gabbana Men is available at Mr Porter!
The F/W 2011 collection is dedicated to Bryan Ferry (he is even on a special icon T-shirt). But the Italian duo didn’t copy the man who is said to be one of rock’s best dressed singers, they only took some inspirations. The models walked to Ferry’s music on the runway in well-tailored suits, tuxedos and skinny suspenders. For the more casual days, Dolce & Gabbana offers cool leather jackets, striped sweaters, cropped pants and distressed denim.
For the launch of the brand at Mr Porter, three Italian screen stars were photographed in those must-haves for men. One, you will recognize for sure: Michele Venitucci, my colleague for the Closed F/W 2011 campaign shoot.
Gentlemen, we, the weaker sex, love a little Italian seduction… Viva la dolce vita!
And ladies, please stay tuned, Dolce & Gabbana will launch their beautiful women’s collection this week at net-à-porter, too.
