With its light sepia tone and multi-generational cast of characters posing, the new Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2012 campaign may remind you of a collection of old family photos. When, in fact, the photography features Italian locales and actors, including Chiara Francini, Francesco Scianna, Giuseppe Fiorello, Primo Reggiani, Filippo Nigro and Thomas Trabacchi, and is inspired by classic Italian cinema.
The diverse collection of suits, casual wear and swimwear is captured beautifully in a series of film-like images that not only represent the historic significance of cinema to Italy's culture, but also the reflect the importance of the D&G brand to the country's heritage as well. And, for those who can't afford to purchase any of the Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2012 collection, at least we can live vicariously through the models presented on the page.
