Dramatic, dark, and deliberate are the best words to describe Dolce & Gabbana’s campaign for the debut of their Il Pranzo makeup line. Styled by CR’s very own Carine Roitfeld, elegance meets a tasteful flair of the macabre. The narrative is a take on the dramatics of class dynamics and the lifestyle guaranteed by beauty. Viewers have no choice but to be drawn into a scene of intrigue and luxury in hopes of earning a metaphorical place at the table.
Captivating photography and direction of Steven Klein captures select models, including Irina Shayk, Chloe Oh, Sacha Quenby, Nyagua Ruea, Felice Nova Noordhoff, Carré Otis, and Georgia May Jagger, around a table as their attention is commanded by Jerry Hall. The setting is cold and dimly lit, broken by the bold styling of Hall in her shiny leopard print coat. While everyone else is posed in various black ensembles, pops of color are sparse—red lips and nails jarringly out of place among the cool tones that dominate the camera.
