Madonna Fronts Dolce & Gabbana’s The One Campaign With Sensual Mert Alas Film

Her Italian-language ‘La Bambola’ soundtracks a push introducing two additions to The One line.

Overview

  • The campaign film, directed by Mert Alas, frames Madonna opposite actor Alberto Guerra with overtly sensual imagery and power-play motifs.
  • Madonna took a hands-on role, working on the script with Alas and suggesting Guerra for the male lead, according to Domenico Dolce.
  • Her cover of Patty Pravo’s 1968 song “La Bambola” is available on streaming services and marks her first recording sung in Italian, per the brand.
  • Dolce & Gabbana is using the campaign to launch two new scents in The One fragrance lineup.
  • The casting of the 67-year-old star challenges youth-focused beauty marketing and draws on her decades-long relationship with Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.
