AD CAMPAIGNS
The campaigns examine what happens when distinct personalities meet. Dolce&Gabbana frames those encounters through attraction, emotion and individual point of view, placing human connection at the center of the imagery. Meisel studies posture, expression and body language, allowing each subject to communicate character through physical presence.
For the women’s campaign, the Fall Winter 2026 collection draws from several established Dolce&Gabbana codes. Sicily, black, lace, tailoring and sensuality shape the wardrobe, alongside ideas of devotion, sincerity and passion. The clothing acts as a visual language through which each character expresses a distinct identity. Meisel uses these elements to emphasize personality rather than treat the collection as an isolated set of garments. The images connect clothing with attitude, giving the women individual presence while keeping the house’s recognizable aesthetic in view.
The men’s campaign approaches identity through a portrait of contemporary masculinity. Dolce&Gabbana uses tailoring, knitwear, denim and Mediterranean sensuality to carry its established design language into the Fall Winter 2026 season. The result gives the men’s collection a specific psychological dimension. Clothing, posture and expression work together to describe different versions of masculinity without separating them from the visual vocabulary that defines Dolce&Gabbana.
The women’s and men’s campaigns function as individual projects while maintaining a close relationship. Dolce&Gabbana connects them through the emotional energy created by personality, attraction and affinity. The dialogue between femininity and masculinity remains an important part of the house’s fashion language and informs the way the two campaigns relate to one another.
Steven Meisel’s role carries particular significance within that history. His creative relationship with Dolce&Gabbana dates back to Fall Winter 1989, and his photography has played an important part in shaping the house’s visual identity. Over the years, his images have interpreted its sensuality, glamour and character through a distinctive photographic perspective.
The season continues Dolce&Gabbana’s focus on identity as a guiding creative principle. Since its beginning, the independent house has developed its own set of recognizable codes and repeatedly adapted them through new collections, attitudes and personalities. In the Fall Winter 2026 campaigns, those codes appear through two related studies of character. Meisel brings the women’s and men’s collections into focus through expression, physical interaction and individual presence, giving the season a visual language grounded in personality.
