Dolce & Gabbana and D&G Fall/Winter 2009 Ad Campaigns

Confession: Dolce & Gabbana clothing is not exactly our scene (although we always love the sheer richness and oppulence of their women's collections), but we really LOVE their advertising season after season, just because it is so glossy, and glam, and excessive, and sort of how part of us wants fashion to be. Usually it's controversial too (although they seem to have avoided homoerotic priests and glamourising knife crime this this time..), and overall it always brightens our day up a bit even if we don't like the clothes as much ourselves (not that that matters to Dolce e Gabbana, whose brands have a huge following).

We've reproduced the full Dolce & Gabbana women's and men's FW09 ad campaigns, as well as the D&G fall/winter 2009 ad campaign, because it's all fun and we love it...

Our only point of contention is Jesus Luz, who has surely only been included because of his fling/publicity stunt with Madonna, and whose face, to put not too fine a point on it, is somewhat unfortunate. Otherwise with the men's it's the usual 'gay mafia' theme galore, with plenty of David Gandy..

D&G is every bit as visually excessive too... lately this has become a much stronger individual brand in its own right, moving away from products merely marked with the D&G logo... Also interesting how Dolce & Gabbana have recently been injecting Italian sex appeal into heavy-framed nerd glasses...
