Here is a preview of Dolce&Gabbana‘s upcoming Spring/Summer 2012 campaign, photographed by Mariano Vivanco. The campaign is inspired by Italian cinema, featuring real actors Chiara Francini, Giuseppe Fiorello, Francesco Scianna, Filippo Nigro, Primo Reggiani and Thomas Trabacchi.

 

Dolce & Gabbana explain, “The photos shot by Mariano Vivanco are intentionally candid and reminiscent of scenes from an Italian-style comedy, where actors portray life in a Southern Italian village: a baptism, Sunday with the family, a portrait with mother, at the bar with friends, afternoons at the beach, courting the village beauty, guy talk, a stolen kiss on the docks and a birthday party with relatives. The spontaneous images portray fragments of real life and highlight the values of Dolce&Gabbana: Italian spirit, tradition, family, love, passion, joie de vivre and the ability to capture the modernity of the past and to render it contemporary.”
