D&G launch make-up line. Are you excited?
Features | Michele Obi | January 19, 2009
D&G may be facing a downward spiral with their clothing line but that hasn’t stopped them from branching out. The brand has officially entered the beauty arena with the launch of their first make-up line. That’s right. Now we have more luxurious beauty products to lust after. The debut collection takes inspiration from the Mediterranean and Stefano Gabbana promises rose scented lipsticks.
Speaking to WWD, he added, ‘We wanted to create makeup with a scent. Domenico and I remember when we were children and opened our mother’s handbags — the scent of her lipstick trailed out. I observed that when women open makeup, they smell it first’.
As we expected the packaging is glamorous and a gorgeous shade of gold. Guess who’s fronting the campaign? Scarlett Johansson as a “modern day Marilyn Monroe”. Surprised? No, neither are we.

I don’t like how Scarlett Johansson looks in that photo. I think she looks terrible. She looks sort of copse-like and undead to me. She could even be accused of looking mannish in that photo too. Not Marilyn Monroe-worthy at all, and I wish this photo was better. Maybe there are different versions and she looks better in those, and in that case I think I’ll hope to see those in print.
