And just as we were thinking it might as well be Dolce & Gabbana & Madonna, the pop star was replaced by a bevy of supermodels after two seasons as the face of the Italian brand. Steven Klein captured dewy, tanned, and fresh-faced Izabel Goulart, Isabeli Fontana, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Maryna Linchuk against a simple stone backdrop. Whereas the Queen of Pop sported red lipstick, cat-eye sunglasses, and platinum tresses, Stefano and Domenico replaced retro glamour with a natural effortlessness (contributed to by the various stages of undress) that reflected the lightness of the clothes and jewelry. The result was charmingly effortless, a little nostalgic, and utterly Italian.
