The presence of Jesus Luz in the new Dolce & Gabbana menswear ad was met with mostly negative reactions across the blogosphere. The Fashionisto is certainly not a fan of Jesus popping up in ad campaigns. For their post on the new Pepe Jeans Fall-Winter 2009 ads, Carl @ Fashionisto omitted Jesus’s name from the credits. And in case you think it was omitted by mistake, here is his colorful reaction to people noticing that omission.
Although I also believe that Jesus ruined that particular D&G ad (we await to see the rest of the ads), I think he looks pretty good in these Pepe Jeans ads. But maybe it’s because he kinda blends in with the background, as opposed to being in the foreground of the D&G ad. Out of the six featured models, he is the furthest one from view in both ads.
So enough about Jesus and on to the ads themselves. They were shot by Tom Munro and feature Jacques Naude, Michael Camiloto, Hanne-Gaby Odiele, Agnete Hegelund, Anabela Belikova, and the controversial Jesus Luz.
