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 por
trays 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!

The latest glamazon to grace the billboards and silver screens as the face of D&G is actress Scarlett Johansson who is the perfect match for the sophistication and femininity that the brand aims to convey in its range of clothing, accessories, jewellery and watches.

D&G Watches: Madonna to Become New Face of D&G
When you think of D&G you immediately think of the beautiful and the glamorous. Of course, when a brand is aiming to portray an image, it is therefore vital that they choose the right models, or in many cases celebrities to represent the brand. The Italian design duo Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have announced the exciting news that the Queen of Pop, Madonna will be the face of their Spring/Summer 2010 campaign. In fact, Madonna isn’t new to the Italian designers as they collaborated with the star back in the early 1990s when they designed the memorable costumes for her 1993 The Girlie Show tour. Only last year, the design duo also designed costumes for Madonna’s return to the stage during her Sticky and Sweet tour. They feel that Madonna is perfect for the forthcoming campaign as the new collection reverts back to classic pieces such as their signature corset and Madonna is the ideal person to bring this back to the forefront of fashion.
Of course, Dolce and Gabbana clothing tends to be worn by the rich and famous and for those of us who aren’t the likes of Madonna, Isa

This style is also available in different colours. The new ladies D+G ‘800’ is the definition of glamorous and statement with its diamante petal leaf bracelet strap and case. The new Salome D&G watch is a great example of how the brand dares to be different and pushes conventional style and design traditions. The watch comprises of large circular links which are filled with black and white stones. The dial is simple and the focal point of the watch is the unique and striking aesthetic. The new D&G watches are perfect for the forthcoming party season and are truly representative of the chic and glitzy D&G style.

In a clever ploy to tantalise the opposite sex, D&G’s next talking point came in the form of a pouting Marilyn-esque Scarlett Johansson, deployed to seduce men and win over women for the launch of their 2009 Cosmetics Collection – ‘The Make Up’. Chosen for her natural beauty, chameleon qualities and her sensual, provocative nature, Scarlett proved the perfect choice to front a glamorous D&G campaign.

Face Flatterers
In the same way you wouldn’t wear an outfit that didn’t suit your figure, don’t choose sunglasses that won’t flatter your face. Work with what you’ve got and make the most of your features, and resist splashing out on certain styles if you’re only buying them for fashion’s sake. After all, your face is the one part of the body you can’t cover up, and once you’ve planted a pair of whoppers on your mug, there’s no avoiding people’s stares!
So, before you start your sunglasses spree clarify what face shape you have, as it’s this that will distinguish which styles are winners and which are losers…
Round Face
Circular frames will only make your face appear rounder so steer clear of curves and opt for square, angular designs instead as these will make your face appear longer and slimmer.
Circular Celebs: Sophie Ellis Bexter, Kiera Knightley, Drew Barrymore, Charlotte Church
Face Flatterer: Dior Cottage shades
Heart Shaped face 
To draw attention away from a wider forehead and narrow chin you need to draw the focus in towards the middle of your face to balance out your features. For this, thin rimmed frames and larger styles will work wonders.
Heart Shaped Heroines: Sophie Dahl, Michelle Pfieffer, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Reese Witherspoon
Face Flatterer: Dolce & Gabbana shades DG2027B
Oval face
Luckily for you anything goes as you’ve been blessed with the face shape that has the most balanced proportions. Experiment with the latest trends or choose squarer frames with rounded off edges if you want a fail-safe solution.
Oval Icons: Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Bosworth, Cat Deeley
Face Flatterer: Fendi shades FS445 207
Square Face 
A square face means strong, angular features so round, curved or wrap-around frames look best as they help to soften the face. Classic oval styles will also compliment your characteristics.
Square Faced Superstars: Demi Moore, Katie Holmes, Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock
Face Flatterer: Stella McCartney shades STM74 LITEQ
Long face
Thin frames are a no-go, but both round and square shapes will look great on long faces. Oversized specs and decorative detailing at the temples will also help to add width to your face.
Long Faced Leading Ladies: Sarah Jessica Parker, Liv Tyler, Lisa Kudrow, Courtney Cox
Face Flatterer: Bvlgari shades BV8012B 851/13
