Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2012 Ad Campaign


 

Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2012 ad campaign is all about the traditional Italian three-generation family and life in a Southern Italian Village.

I stood; I gazed at, and so wished that I could be a part of that family.  The men and women sport an elegance that comes from another time in history, straight out of those Italian movies that has made cinema italiano a legend.

Watch the video displayed during the La Bella Estate party held by Dolce and Gabbana to get a behind the scenes look at the making of the Dolce & Gabbana SS/2012 Man Campaign.

There is a definite cinematographic inspiration behind the advertisement campaign “La Bella Estate”.  Mario Vivanco shot a cast of Italian actors for the campaign: Francesco Scianna, Primo Reggiani, Thomas Trabacchi, Chiara Francini, Beppe Fiorello, Filippo Nigro.

The Dolce & Gabbana SS/2012 Woman fashion show was a real visual feast; beautiful prints, macramé, bejeweled evening wear and a vast choice of exquisitely crafted bodysuits.  The Swide Magazine team (by Dolce&Gabbana) have selected the key looks from the collection just for you.

 

When tradition meets beauty:  Monica Bellucci, Bianca Balti and Simone Nobili capture the essence of the Italian family.  They look like they just walked off the set of a black & white Italian comedy shot in the South of Italy: they could be the Sofia Loren or the Anna Magnani of Cinema Italiano, but they are Monica Bellucci and Bianca Balti, protagonists, together with Simone Nobili of the Dolce&Gabbana SS/2012 woman campaign by Giampaolo Sgura.
