Dolce & Gabanna

Creative Direction | Cinematography

The problem. Dolce & Gabbana's whole identity is "Italy, but louder" — transform a coastal-road, sun-and-citrus spot into seductive fantasy.

The idea. Anchor everything to a single vintage object — a red convertible — and let it physically connect every location, so the film reads as one continuous joyride rather than a location montage. Cinematography stays kinetic and tactile: drone-height reveals of the coastline hand off to low, ground-level tracking shots at wheel height, then in-car handheld close-ups (hand on the door, wind in hair) that put the audience inside the car rather than watching it pass.

The payoff. Detail cutaways — the turquoise ring on painted metal, the silk scarf knotted at the throat, an embroidered kaftan pocket — do the product storytelling in the gaps between driving shots, so the accessories register as souvenirs of the trip rather than catalog inserts. Absent until the final card, the wordmark sits calm and static over the coastline, letting the momentum of the drive resolve into a single, quiet postcard image.
