Noteworthy for their often highly controversial ad campaigns, some previously pulled or outright banned, Dolce & Gabbana released their Fall 2008 fashion ad campaign (top right).

Much to common fashionistas’ surprise, this clean-cut campaign may just spur buzz and debate for lacking the consistent and expected high-fashion-high-controversy material (Fall 2007, bottom right).

The question is whether or not this campaign a good representation of a brand often uniquely exploitive and controversial. Do the domestic dolls hinder the brand image or behoove it? Perhaps the clothes alone hinder the brand this time.
