Dolce & Gabbana F/W 2007.08 : Coco, Kasia, Vlada, Georgia, Hye by Steven Klein

^Gotta agree. I'm so over the whole s&m theme.

Anyway, these are from the lookbook/catalogue, I actually quite like some of these images, perhaps moreso than the campaign

I'm bad with IDs, so correct me if I'm wrong but I think I see Anna Mikhaylik, Romina Lanaro, Marina Jamieson, and ??

There's no Romina there.

I agree with some of you. When the men are dressed, the ads are nice, but with them naked? It just seems off. ;/ But I love that Coco and Hye are in them. <3

^^ thanks, like i said, i'm bad with IDs lol.

Here are a few more from the lookbook/catalogue. Not even sure if I should be posting these in this thread since they aren't the actual campaign, but I had them saved, so...

i like dolce ads for girls but i dont like for men is so boring and the cast is so boring too

 

[Northern Star]

I realise this is similar to the last few campaigns but I like it alot.
The S&M theme is great but as a dominatrix type Vlada just does'nt cut it I'm afraid. The other girls look great. Hye Park looks amazing in her one girl picture.

 

[mikeijames]

obviously.

Don't get me wrong, they are beautiful pictures. The colors are wonderful, and the models did a great job. However, will Dolce ever get a new concept? I think the naked/90% naked men in the women's ads is getting pretty stale.

let it never be said that the dolce and gabbana duo do not appreciate the male form. i find it refreshing when designers stick to what they do best and, as these pictures clearly show, they do the clothed-with-unclothed thing pretty well.

 

[valleyofdolls]

the campaign is much more better than last klein's works (generally because of the lightning and colours) for dg but the theme of ads is too overused

 

[avantgarde]

Oh. My. God. My Favorite Collection.

 

[Manuva]

Kasia & Coco
I loved this collection, and I think these adverts show case it well. My favourite Dolce ad for quite some time.

 

[masquerade]

Coco, Kasia and Hye looks great, very fierce
Vlada seems out of place

All in all I like last season's better

 

[TheGlassAngel]

Yah, I do too. Georgia has only one picture in this set.

ARGHHHH

 

[kevinnn]

omg i love it

 

[Mr. Fabulous]

Hye Park , I'm not a big fan of the cast though, and the homoerotic ads are getting very repetitive.

 

[Spike413]

I have never been a Coco fan, but she is fierce with that riding crop!

Fabulous campaign. It's cold, a bit bizarre, the lighting is superb.

I love that it takes sex and makes it more creepy then sexy, whether that was the intent or not, I'm loving it.

That shot of the three girls in the silver gowns with the naked boy is flawless. The way the light bounces of the crystals and highlights Coco's leg is just beautiful.

 

[DuTTyRoCK112]

i love when designer's use repetition so i don't at all mind the naked men... it's dolce and it's part of their image.

that said, i think the men completely take away from the women, who IMO are not sexy at all. vlada is way too skinny compared to everyone else and coco's poses just seem too contrived. i also think the lighting and after-effects are just too... perfect and clean and glossy if that makes sense. if they were going for an s&m theme, i would have liked the pictures to be much darker, grittier, almost sinister.

the photo from the lookbook with the four girls in metallic bikinis and masquerade masks is an amazing image that should have set the tone for the campaign. the masks give it a darker mood.

 

[Jacque Marcel]

The half naked guys are the only things keeping these ads from being a total snoozefest and that's not saying much.

 

[notmanons]

^^ That is so true
