Dolce & Gabbana Fine Jewelry Fall 2022 Ad Campaign

Review of Dolce & Gabbana Fine Jewelry Fall 2022 Ad Campaign by Director & Photographer Haris Farsarakis with models Gaia Schiralli and Rafael Myers

Dolce & Gabbana celebrates love and light with a new campaign for its DGRainbow fine jewelry collection, which was directed and shot by photographer Haris Farakis.

Farsarakis’ narrative portraits see gorgeous models Gaia Schiralli and Rafael Myers embody a pair of lovers, who embark on a paradisiacal pleasure cruise in the bay of an Italian coastal town. Their embracing, minimally dressed bodies are dripping with the gold and gemstones of D&G’s Rainbow fine jewelry, which serves as a physical embodiment of the luxuriousness and eternity of unstoppable love.

The film sets these portraits in motion against soft guitar music and the dancing reflections of sun rays against waves. The film does reveal, however, one of the disadvantages of casting models instead of actors when it comes to fashion films with dialogue, as their delivery of the lines feels a bit stilted and awkward. Another solution might have been to have these Italian stars speak Italian, which also would have lent to the classic cinematic romance of the piece. Nonetheless, it does do a great job of drawing out – both visually and emotionally – the glittering majesty of the jewelry collection, which must be seen in motion.
