The Gucci Made to Measure ad campaign once again stars the incomparable James Franco. Adopting the Old Hollywood glamor that often surrounds female celebrities, the print ads are quite dashing. Of course, the exquisitely tailored suit that Franco dons definitely gives the entire shoot a dapper finish. Gucci creative director Frida Giannini says, "James has an innate ability to fuse classic elegance with contemporary style and interpret formalwear in an individual way."
Shot by French photographer Nathaniel Goldberg at the film studio Cinecittà in Rome, the Gucci Made to Measure ad campaign is titled All The World’s a Stage. This campaign shows that more men are starting to grow a strong appreciation for the suit look again and are even willing to dish out a bit more money to get the perfect fit just for them.
