Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda Summer 2025 Editorial Shots 2025

About

Dolce & Gabbana's Alta Moda Summer 2025 collection finds its spiritual home in the ancient stone architecture of Rome, serving as the backdrop for an editorial campaign that masterfully channels the grandeur of Italian couture. Through the lens of photographers Luigi Murenu and Iango Henzi, the series leans into a cinematic narrative where the intricate textures of lace, gold embroidery, and opulent beading collide with the rugged masonry of archaeological sites and iconic landmarks like the Trevi Fountain. Model Kristen McMenamy anchors the campaign, her statuesque presence elevating the fusion of high-fashion and historical motifs. The creative execution thrives on the interplay between deep shadows and bright natural light, utilizing techniques like chiaroscuro to emphasize the sculptural quality of the garments against weathered stone. The styling—complemented by the precise hair artistry of Patti Bussa and the bold, defined makeup by Georgi Sandev—highlights a dramatic, regal aesthetic that feels both timeless and urgent. Every frame acts as a portrait of luxury, where analogue-inspired film textures and sweeping, low-angle compositions underscore the house’s commitment to craftsmanship. By positioning the models against the city’s historic domes and rooftops, the imagery achieves a sense of heroic scale, firmly rooting the collection within a landscape defined by history, grace, and an uncompromising dedication to visual storytelling.
