Oh, Domenico and Stefano...


What were you thinking?!


As I've been (slowly) reading and flipping through my January 2009 Vogue and Elle I've come across the Dolce and Gabbana ads for their cruise collection and I have a few problems with it. Take a look:


The good: I like the black and white theme, it's nice and different for a cruise collection.

The bad:
The model poses; concave is pretty done by now. Really, pick a new innovative pose for 2009, this one has had it's two or three year run it's time to move on and find something new and exciting - otherwise those models will be really bored.

The ugly:
And it is ugly. The old women deserves a "what were you thinking?!" as does the really bad color editing in photoshop. If you look at the model on the far left in the nice white dress her left leg is paler than her right leg - in fact, her right leg looks like it got fake baked, but she forgot to do her left leg - any makeup artist to make that mistake would be fired before she could say "Dolce and Gabbana." But really, the old women? I'm still confused.

I kinda liked the older lady. She made me laugh. Hey, you gotta appeal to all audiences right? :-P
