Building off of the Autumn and Winter 2015 Dolce and Gabbana collection, the luxury brand continues to explore themes of motherhood and building a fashion family.
Using a cast of more than 20 models, the brand is now showcasing looks for men, women and children of all ages. Some of the iconic faces in the fashion advertisement include Monica Bellucci, Sora Choi, Vittoria Ceretti, as well as the young daughters of models and even a few of the grandmothers who were featured in last season's campaigns.
As a brand that's Italian to the core, the choice to create a big family portrait is a fitting one. As an extension of the #DGFamily, the print campaign is reminiscent of the #DGFamily site where anyone can upload a family portrait to become part of the Dolce and Gabbana family.
