Review of Dolce & Gabbana ‘Caretto Collection’ Spring 2023 Ad Campaign by Photographer Steven Meisel with models Leon Dame, Xu Meen, Akbar Shamji, David Gandy, Jon Kortajarena, and Kit Butler
Dolce & Gabbana takes an elegant look at expressive summertime dressing with the new campaign for its Caretto men’s collection shot by photographer Steven Meisel.
The campaign imagery takes shape as intimate sit-down portraits, where Meisel’s straightforward and elegant photographic approach leaves space for the character of the models to shine through, as well as putting a focus on the collection’s design motifs of pattern and flow.
While the black-and-white approach may overlook some of the color that D&G is known for, it makes up for it by nicely putting an intimate focus on the forms these colors take and the character of the men who wear them.
