The Dolce and Gabbana Cruise 2009 campaign, which was shot by Mario Testino, seems to have a water and sun-themed taste to it.
As usual, D & G displayed it’s overcrowded set with models Julian Hennig (seen in a pink jacket), Govan Baird (sitting, wearing a pinkish polo) Jonas Kesseler, Catherine McNeil and Maryna Linchuk.
Veteran model Claudia Schiffer made an appearance in the campaign as she cavorted with the eclectic crowd in a very strange beach scene. Schiffer was featured sitting on a beach bench wearing a black skirt with her legs wide open. Schiffer was also photographed tanning alone. The peculiar beach scene also featured two women dressed completely in black, and a big crowd of overly tanned people.
As for the cruise scenes, the models wore evening gowns which had a predominant color palette of soft pink and black with a patent leather shine to it.
