D&G – The Return Of The Supermodel
If you thought that modeling is a short-lived career for the young and skinny, think again. In the last couple of years, the fashion world has been experiencing a “1990s models déjà vu” (as coined by Newsweek). From Christy Turlington to Kate Moss, the power faces that dominated the pages of fashion magazines almost 20 years ago are now back in ads for Chanel, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent and Louis Vuitton, to name just a few. D&G brought this trend to new heights with its ad campaign for its new fragrance line, Fragrance Anthology, featuring top supermodels in all their nude glory.
Starring Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, Tyson Ballou, Noah Mills and Fernando Fernandes, the campaign is shot by celebrity photographer Mario Testino. Other than the print ad pictures, you can also look forward to videos that depict the models in customized bathrobes, looking mischievous.
The 5 scents are inspired by the French game of Tarots, with each based on a selected tarot card, and made for five different personalities.
1 Le Bateleur (The Seducer)
For the modern day Don Juan who is provocative, playful and passionate, it transits from a warm top note to its cool aquatic heart. Built of intriguing contradictions, this is a fragrance for the man who knows exactly what he wants.
3 L’Imperatrice (The Star)
Flamboyant and energetic, this alluring scent is a head turner that oozes charisma and character. Exuding a floral, fruity top note of fresh watermelons and kiwis, it is a dramatic accessory for the woman who is used to being at the center of attention.
6 L’Amoureux (The Charmer)
Impossibly romantic, this intense, spicy fragrance will melt your heart and sweep you off your feet. Presenting a sumptuous blend of intoxicating spices, wood and musk, it is perfect for the sensual lover who is always desirable and captivating.
10 La Roue de la Fortune (The Player)
A confident scent for the adventurous and creative experimenter, this is inspired by the game of chance. With a rich, lavish bouquet of summer blooms as its top note, it mellows to a feminine opulence that contrasts nicely with its woody base.
18 La Lune (The Dreamer)
Be the dazzling, mysterious lady who keeps her secrets close to her heart. The enigmatic and radiant beauty of this scent lies in the juxtaposition of fresh white florals against the soft aroma of sandalwood and leather. Subtle yet arresting, it will capture your imagination. Discover your unique personality and play the part with these mesmerising fragrances.
