Many of you have seen the shots before, but I am excited as I finally purchased a copy of the Dolce & Gabbana 2008 Calendar featuring supermodel David Gandy.
Beautifully shot by photographer Mariano Vivanco (Website Found HERE:). Even if you did not know Mariano's work, I am sure most have seen it. Mariano has some very high profile campaigns out there and has worked for Dolce and Gabbana many times. Check out the site, I am sure you will recognize some of the great work.
If you have not bought the calendar, you still can, check out the official site HERE: to find out where.
I loved reading a short account by the beautiful David Gandy about the shoot in GQ Style.
Milan 13, January 2008
"David Gandy didn't plan to take it all off. 'My agency was trying to keep it "No bum, no this or that",' he says. "But Mariano, the photographer, is a friend, and he said, "Let's do the shot, and if you don't like it, I'll delete it." I couldn't say fairer. He showed me the shot, and I loved it.'
So came about Dolce & Gabban's exclusive David Gandy calendar, given out to fashion editors on the eve of the A/W 08 collection and available on request at Dolce stores for regular customers.
"David definitely embodies our ideal of male beauty: healthy, fit, happy."
Domenico Dolce of Dolce & Gabbana.
More on David Gandy tomorrow!
