Leather-Loving Edgy Editorials

The DSquared2 Fall 2011 Ad Campaign is Dark and Gorgeous

— September 2, 2011 — Pop Culture
Anyone who knows me knows that I love me some leather, so the DSquared2 Fall 2011 ad campaign is right up my alley. The campaign features stunning models Saskia de Brauw and Emily Baker and was shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott of famed fashion photography duo Mert & Marcus.

The black and white photos from the DSquared2 Fall 2011 are gritty and gorgeous. The advertising campaign is called 'Tribute to Pioneers' and is a perfect reflection of twin designers Dan and Dean Caten's Fall 2011 runway presentation, which featured long black leather coats, frayed jeans and plaid, prairie-inspired shirts.

The DSquared2 Fall 2011 campaign is a beautiful work of art and anyone who loves photography of a dark, mysterious nature -- like I do -- will surely be a fan of this campaign.
