Dolce and Gabbana F/W 08.09 : Caroline, Jessica and Lily by Steven Klein

[cecil]

I think it's great that these ads make their collection for fall look good. Because the last time i saw their collection, it wasn't as great as pictured in these ads.

[izzie stevens]

WOW. I love it. Even with Jessica in it.

I LOOOVEE it! Fantastic cast (I miss Gemma here, though..) and I love the shade, it gives a great atmosfphere

And the pic with girls in the gowns is just heaven!

Meisel shot better campaigns.

I'm sorry, I just think this campaign is hideous and I'm dreading seeing it in every magazine come fall....

First of all, the collection was bad to begin with.
Secondly, what's with the eerie atmosphere...I'm all for dark and dreary, but with this collection....?
Thirdly, Stam looks positively hideous...lowest point of her career, if you ask me.
Fourthly, all the girls look like cheap mannequins at Macy's.

I just can't stand these ads.

I love the lighting, the colors, the detail, and I think the clothing looks great. Some shots are very cool (Lily D holding arm, girls walking dog)

But I agree, the girls are indistinguishable from one another (which might be intentional, but doesn't look so good) and look far too mannequin-y and plastic (again, might be the style they were going for in this campaign, but I think it's ill-suited for the collection.)

Overall, I like it. Over-retouched, though.

This isnt the best Dolce Campaign ive seen, but im LOVING Lily's modelling right now!!! Not just this but in her editorials too!!! Caroline's 'trying', and lets not even mention Stam, SHE'S ATROCIOUS!! She looks BEYOND AMATEUR, like she doesnt know what the **** shes doing! Has she forgotten how to model??? She can be soo boring and bored, on AND off the runway....

And the mens do look like Photoshop experiments in places..

HAHAA!! I soo agree!!! Poor her

[Xzander]

I won't say that I hate this campaign but I think that it could have been so much more! And Stam, it would have been better to shoot this without her. The pic where Lily is grabing Caroline is my fave but I just wish they would have hidden Stam away.

For me, Caroline is the one in this campaign. (And I really like Stam, but this time she just doesn't do it for me.)

Dolce and Gabbana needs to go back to Meisel.

Klein just can't pull off something interesting.

This is another underwhelming campaign. I mean seriously, they're walking on the street in ball gowns.

And AGAIN with the weird faces. Did they not have a choice of shots? Lily and Stam's faces are just plain weird.

Meisel's campaigns were soooooooo much better ie. Spring 2006 and Fall 2006. Genius.

Im so sick of Klein for Dolce. Its so boring.
