ShinyStyle Watch: Madonna’s MDG sunglasses ad campaign
By Andrea Petrou on June 1st, 2010
Madonna’s campaigns with D&G have become well known throughout the fashion industry and if you’re a regular reader you would have seen our previews of the AW2010 ads featuring the star.
A few months ago we bought you the news that Madge had gone a step further with the Italian designer brand and collaborated with it to co-design an eyewear range. And we’ve been lucky enough to get hold of the ad video, which of course she stars in, for you to check out.
The singer poses with, and gets a little bit saucy, with male model, Tyson Ballou, for the MDG logo sunglasses vid shot by Steven Klein. We doubt this is the last we’ll be seeing of the star.

ShinyStyle watch: Scarlett Johansson for D&G make-up
By Andrea Petrou on April 30th, 2010
It was only yesterday that we featured Scarlett Johansson in our models versus celebrity face-off after some designers said they would go back to using models over A-List stars in their campaigns.
However, we think perhaps we were a little bit too hasty to agree because Scarlett looks amazing in this latest campaign for Dolce & Gabbana Makeup campaign.
The star looks every inch the 50s chick with her Marilyn Monroe curls and we love the blue metallic shade she wears on her eyes. And she’s proved she’s most definitely a muse for the brand. D&G have named a colour in their Roses Lipstick collection Scarlett.
She said of the campaign: “I try to be inspired by old Hollywood glamour, whether that’s Rita Hayworth or Lauren Bacall.”
Watch behind the scenes footage and see what else Scarlett has to say about the campaign by viewing the video below.

SS2010 trends: Summer Sunglasses
By Andrea Petrou on March 18th, 2010
The sun’s been shining all week, and after the dismal few months many of us are embracing it by dusting out those spring tops, and re-stocking our wardrobes with the latest spring trends (sorry credit card).
One essential item for this season is of course sunglasses. And although we know many of you are thinking it’s a tad early, we’ve seen a good few ladies already sporting these to shield their eyes from the rays.
This season’s sunnies are all about aviator styles, pinks and of course florals. Go with one of these styles to fit in with the trends, or opt for a classic designer pair, think Chanel, Vivienne Westwood or Madonna’s latest range for D&G, that will keep you going throughout the next few years.
We’ve put together a gallery of sunnies to help you out, but remember, it’s not cool to wear these when you’re on the tube, in a club or anywhere else there’s no sun. Unless of course you’re a hip-hop star or rapper in training.

ShinyStyle Gallery: D&G L.A. opening attracts Tinsel Town’s starlets
By Kimberley Foster on December 16th, 2008
Via our sister site, Catwalk Queen…
The number one place to be on Monday night was at the opening of the new D&G flagship store in Los Angeles. Dolce & Gabbana certainly have some fine young thangs for pals, inviting a plethora of young Hollywood stars to their glitzy bash on Robertson Blvd. The opening also doubled as a charity event, to raise funds for The Art of Elysium – a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of artists and critically ill children. Among the high-profile guests were Rachel Bilson, Nicole Richie, Joel Madden, Lauren Conrad, Rumer Willis, and Paris and Nicky Hilton. We have all the red carpet pics of what they wore – check out our special gallery!

Scarlett Johansson in deal with Dolce & Gabbana?
By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on December 15th, 2008
Catwalk Queen‘s Kimberley Foster writes…
The major celebrity ad campaigns look set to continue with rumours that Scarlett Johansson has landed a beauty deal with Dolce & Gabbana.
Style File claims that not only has the newly-wed actress landed the campaign, she has already shot it with Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.
No word yet on what D&G product Johansson could be representing, although the brand is about to launch a makeup line next month. She has been seen on multiple occasions wearing the designers’ clothes, as well as accompanying Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce to this year’s Met Costume Institute gala.
If true, Scarlett will finish off the celeb campaign trifecta, joining Louis Vuitton’s new star, Madonna and Katie Holmes, the latest face of Miu Miu.
What do you think of this pairing?

Scarlett’s stunning in winter white
By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on November 6th, 2008
If you packed up all your little white dresses and shoes, Scarlett Johansson’s look at a Parkinson’s disease fundraiser in New York City might have you getting them back out again.
She wore her Dolce & Gabbana dress the best way you can – with Van Cleef & Arpels diamonds. (Okay, any diamonds will do.) Her jewels and shoes took the dress from dressy daytime ensemble to a perfect after-hours outfit.

YSL moves on to another supermodel for spring
By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on November 5th, 2008
Looks like Yves Saint Laurent is simply collecting supermodels for its ad campaigns. After their fall ads featured Naomi Campbell, they’re moving on to Claudia Schiffer for spring.
Schiffer has told WWD that she has shot campaigns for YSL, Dolce & Gabbana and Salvatore Ferragamo for the spring.
Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin photographed YSL’s spring campaign in Los Angeles last month.

Designer Pick of the Week: D&G Dolce & Gabbana Calfskin Leather Duffle Bag
By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on September 30th, 2008
We don’t care if this is a men’s duffle bag, it’s gorgeous.
The D&G Dolce & Gabbana calfskin leather duffle bag, $895, would make such a chic carry on. And we wouldn’t even be opposed to carrying it as a purse on those days when we have lots of errands and don’t want to add more plastic bags to the landfill.
The distressed leather has just the right amount of shine for fall, the gray is a terrific alternative to black and even the brasstone hardware works.
Would you wear a men’s bag? Tell us in the comments.

ShinyStyle Gallery: Dolce & Gabbana bring out the stars at Milan Fashion Week
By Andrea Thatcher on September 25th, 2008
Dolce & Gabbana’s spring 2009 girl is not worried about the failing economy – she slept through the news of all the banks failing. The designers call this collection Pajama Baroque, a slightly upscale version of the name we gave it – sexy pajama party. More Upper East Side than Playboy Manion, naturalmente. This is one line that did not pander to woes about an economic crisis and we’re happy for it because it’s also one of the more exciting collections we’ve seen.
Star power doesn’t hurt either. J.Lo, Dita Von Teese, models galore…they were all front row and on the runway.

Vogue’s next ‘It’ girl: Julie Macklowe
By Andrea Thatcher on June 3rd, 2008
Usually everyone’s talking about the latest Hollywood “It” girl, but we’re more interested in fashion’s It girls – and what better barometer than Vogue.
It’s rumored that New York socialite Julie Macklowe will hold the coveted title in Vogue’s July issue.
Though socialite probably isn’t the right descriptor for the fashionista since in addition to being a staple of the social circuit, Macklowe is also a career woman as a portfolio manager for Sigma Capital Management.

Designer Pick of the Week: Dolce & Gabbana framed leather handbag
By Andrea Thatcher on February 26th, 2008
This Dolce & Gabbana framed leather handbag is technically part of their spring offerings, but I love it for fall. The soft brown sort of modernizes the gray tones we’ve been seeing and the black trim makes it a neutral fit for any outfit. Though, at $2,175 I doubt anyone who could afford it would be caught dead in a spring ’08 bag next fall. More like spring ’09.
One thing that makes me dry heave? The thought of people wearing it with the matching shoes!
