A Flamenco Performance for Dolce and Gabbana’s Spring Summer 2015 Campaign

Taking cues from Spain’s oldest dance form Flamenco, and Bull Fighting, their ad, which is otherwise narrative, this time features real players from the art forms.

Featuring in bold colours, the campaign shot by Domenico Dolce, stars models Vittoria Ceretti, Irina Sharipova, Blanca Padilla and Bianca Balti posing alongside a real Spanish bull fighter Jose Maria Manzanares. Adding candidness to the video is a group of old women, who bring out the cultural essence of Spain, giving it an authentic feel.

The campaign was captured by Domenico Dolce with artistic direction from Stefano Gabbana.

While the old ladies sport looks from the brand’s Spring Summer ’15 collection, just like the models, the campaign also features the brand’s new accessory line which includes bags, shoes and gold jewellery.  Waving out their mystic fans, wearing red carnations and sporting blood kissed lips, the models beautifully recreate flamenco taps to the tunes of the guitar, dodging the sturdy matador.
