Dolce & Gabbana - NERO Kim Kardashian - 2023

Black, the most powerful and overwhelming color, is the symbol of Dolce&Gabbana and encapsulates opposing feelings that attract: sensuality and rigor, tragedy and love.

But Dolce&Gabbana goes beyond sartorial perfection of their clothes: it is above all a way of being, of questioning and of thinking.

In this large-format book, printed in black and white, the great masters of Italian and international reportage, who have portrayed Sicily since the 1950s, are contrasted with the most important fashion photographers, who interpret Dolce&Gabbana Black from behind their lenses since the 1980s. Among them are Sergio Larrain, Bruno Barbey, Ellen von Unwerth, Gian Paolo Barbieri, Mert&Marcus, Helmut Newton, Peter Lindbergh, Paolo Roversi and Giuseppe Tornatore.

In these photographic masterpieces, ranging from advertising campaigns to editorials and the most iconic shots ever seen by the general public, published here for the first time, the stars of cinema, entertainment and the fashion world—with Monica Bellucci, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lopez and Madonna among others—alternate with evocative portraits of ordinary people, in a continuous dialogue that places Dolce&Gabbana Black at the center."
