With the reveal of a striking spring-summer 2024 collection still fresh in our minds, Dolce & Gabbana returns to seize our attention again with its captivating Carretto collection campaign. True to their Italian roots, the dynamic fashion duo sets the stage for an inviting fall-winter 2023 season, demonstrating a masterful blend of new trends and charisma that’s unmistakably their own.

Unleashing the full force of their vibrant spirit, Dolce & Gabbana’s latest collection is a dazzling spectacle of lively prints. These adorn various pieces, from everyday t-shirts and joggers to more tailored poplin shirts and stretch jeans, providing a refreshingly eclectic mix for the season.

Renowned photographer Steven Meisel, already celebrated for capturing Dolce & Gabbana’s impressive Roma campaign, lends his artistic eye to the Carretto collection. His camera focuses on three of the fashion world’s stars—Kit Butler, Xu Meen, and Akbar Shamji—each of whom recently strutted the Dolce & Gabbana runway in Milan. In particular, Xu, who also features on our list of top Asian male models to watch, shines under Meisel’s expert gaze.

The trio expertly displays Dolce & Gabbana’s menswear offerings before Meisel’s lens. The designs present a kaleidoscope of psychedelic patterns, elegantly harmonized with light fabrics and accessories. Bold and assertive, these pieces nonetheless retain an air of refinement, proving once again Dolce & Gabbana’s flair for balancing flamboyance with sophistication.
