Madonna Gets Domestic for Dolce & Gabbana! Dolce & Gabbana Sunglasses.

The latest news on the Dolce & Gabbana front is that the iconic pop star and actress Madonna is the new face of their most recent advertising campaign shot by celebrity photographer Steven Klein. The campaign shows a series of black and white photos that feature Madonna in the kitchen and taking on a stereotypical role of a voluptuous housewife carrying out somewhat boring tasks such washing the dishes, preparing lettuce, and digging into a bowl of pasta.

The ad is heavily influenced by Italian Neorealism cinema and is to promote the brand’s luxury spring/summer 2010 collection. Including the new Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses range.

Despite the fact that Madonna is one of the most famous women in the world which of course will add more interest to the campaign, she is also provides a very symbolic reason as to why she should be starring in these ads. She is perhaps portraying the ‘Material Girl’ in a more domestic form and presenting a completely different side to her character which she portrays to the public as fiercely independent and definitely not your average housewife! It also shows Madonna eating pasta which again, is something that we believe probably isn’t in her usual diet regime as the star is famous for her macrobiotic diet. The ad definitely conveys Madonna in a whole new light and she has always been a huge fan of the luxury brand.

The Dolce & Gabbana ad is typical of the brand’s elaborate and sophisticated campaigns whereby high-fashion advertorial photography is used and the audience is sometimes unclear as to what exact product is being sold. The images will be featured in the Italian version of Vanity Fair this week.

As a brand, the Dolce & Gabbana collection is incredibly glamorous and designed to create a huge style statement. The range of Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses is simply stunning and there are some incredibly chic new styles to look out for which range from the DG4057 unisex retro inspired sporty frames (the pink pair are super feminine!) to the dramatically oversized unisex DG4075 frames which are available in a variety of colours and  patterns. Again, these sunglasses are retro inspired with their more square shaped lenses and reminiscent of Hollywood glamour. The new DG4059 unisex frames are also uniquely visually striking with the frames bending slightly inwards towards the arms and the arms then designed in a subtle wave style.

Dolce & Gabbana is a vibrant brand but one that always remains sophisticated and refined. Features such as interesting frame designs and the use of colour and patterns are ways in which the brand adds something that little more different and edgy and really creates a high fashion and polished look that instantly makes you feel like a star!
