Dolce and Gabbana have stirred up the fashion industry again with their latest ad campaign which features women in dominatrix style whips and fully naked men.
The design duo are known for their controversial ad campaigns and this season is no exception.
Trying to step away from the traditional objectification of models, D&G have given the women in their campaign a raunchy aggressive look complete with metal detailing, slicked back hair and whips.
They are accompanied by naked male models against a futuristic backdrop in the pictures for the autumn/winter 2007-8 collection showcase which was shot by Steven Klein.
"It's the vision of a dream more than reality, where the whip symbolises women's power and where the naked models refer to a classic beauty inspired by Michelangelo," explains Stefano Gabbana to wwd.
"Since these images have offended someone, we want to stress that we wanted to represent a strong and dominatrix woman, as is today's woman," he added
"We wanted to place this artistic reference above everyday reality, but there was no intent to be vulgar or offend anyone's human dignity."
