Age is just a number and that’s especially true for Sophia Loren. The 81-year-old actress stars in the newest Dolce & Gabbana campaign for the brand’s latest fragrance, Dolce Rosa Excelsa.
The short promotional film, shot by Italian Oscar-winning director Giusseppe Tornatore, features Loren as an Italian matriarch surrounded by young male models. Loren and the models come upon a dilapidated house and work hard to renovate it, all under the guidance of Loren. The ad emphasizes romance, Italy and Milan with a little bit of extravagance added to the mix. Would we expect anything less from Dolce and Gabbana, a brand which holds tight to their Italian roots?
I was happy to see Loren as the star of this campaign. She’s an iconic actress and, in this short film, she plays such a strong female character. Dolce & Gabbana often features older women in their ad campaigns, which is great. Fashion needs more diversity, even when it comes to age.
