E.O.C Week 4: Review Exercise

In this chapter you discovered that Dolce & Gabbana are known for their unique advertising campaigns. How well can you read (or analyze) one of their ads or any other fashion ad? Find a fashion ad and share with your colleagues all the innuendos you find hidden in the ad. How does this ad reflect culture or history? Does the ad say anything about the particular brand? What is subliminally suggested? Back up your thoughts with reasons from history, culture, or contemporary ideas.

 Dolce and Gabbana have known to be very daring and provocative in their ads. They incorporate sexual explicit scenes within their ads collaborating with the homosexual community. The ad that i found to be quite interesting is the ad where a group of men are in a room together. That doesn't sound so bad right? Its not over, There's a group of very handsome and well fit men standing with their shirts off, wearing these denim jeans. All the men are standing except for one, which is a man who appears nude but is wearing some sort of briefs. This man is sitting down on a chair that looks like a cross and the man appears to be tied to the ends of the arm chairs spread wide eagled and appears to look like a crucifixion. This ad pushes many envelopes because not only is there a group of hot guys with their shirts off in a room together but there's one who appears fully nude being crucified.
