Dolce & Gabbana’s fall-winter 2025 campaign arrives like a dispatch from the velvet rope. Steven Meisel shoots it in black and white, the preferred medium of spectacle and scandal, and Kit Butler becomes the figure at its center. He slips through crowds under the burn of flashbulbs, his face half-covered by glasses or shadows.
Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2025 Campaign
The Dolce & Gabbana campaign treats nightlife as theater, where the cut of a jacket or the weight of a coat reveals the drama. A white shirt and necktie fastened with a jeweled pin turns into a uniform of seduction.
A sequined jacket signals defiance in the press of bodies at the club door. A fur coat draped over denim suggests the after-hours drift, where fashion exchanges refinement for survival.
Kit plays both subject and object. The images draw power from this exchange. Dolce & Gabbana frames him as a man pursued, documented, and always aware of his own silhouette. Clothes in this setting are armor and a ticket of entry.
The campaign alludes to a portrait of style as currency. In Meisel’s lens, the Dolce & Gabbana man of 2025 thrives on visibility, even as he slips into the back seat, half-asleep under a spotted coat, his bag doubling as a pillow. Presence remains the last luxury, and here it comes fully lit.
