Lensed by photographer Guenter Parth, D & G’s focus is to pay tribute to the bejeweled accessories that were such a huge part of the fashion-conscious jet set in the 1980’s and 1990’s.
View on Fashion refers to diamonds and pearls as "those fascinating cult objects and icons of luxury and perfection."
The photos were done with mannequins and you can find the book in Dolce & Gabbana stores for $270.
