Dolce&Gabbana unveils Light Blue amidst the enchanting beauty of Capri
Against the stunning backdrop of Capri’s legendary azure waters and the dramatic Faraglioni rocks, Dolce&Gabbana unveiled their latest olfactory masterpiece this June. The launch event marked a new chapter in the iconic Light Blue legacy, which has captivated hearts for more than two decades.
Celebrating 25 years since its initial release in 2001, the Light Blue collection continues to be a quintessential summer fragrance. This new iteration honours its legacy while incorporating contemporary sophistication. The celebration of the brand’s history is expected to evoke a sense of nostalgia and deepen the connection with its audience, making them feel part of a rich and enduring tradition.
The four-day event, an exclusive introduction to the world of Dolce&Gabbana beauty, offered a privileged experience of Capri’s finest. It included sumptuous dinners, a memorable yacht party and dancing beneath canopies of lemons, all designed to make the attendees feel special and part of something unique.
The event also drew worldwide attention and featured acclaimed British actor Theo James and Italian supermodel Vittoria Ceretti as the new faces of the campaign. For the campaign, James and Ceretti posed together on a floating white raft off Capri’s coast. The campaign transports viewers through the wonders of Capri, with the two embodying “the passion, intensity and freedom of a summer romance, suspended between dream and reality”. Their connection and the island’s natural beauty underline the brand’s signature themes of sensuality, freedom and Mediterranean escape.

The secret lies in the harmonious blend of the finest, most sparkling lemons, the crisp Granny Smith apple and the timeless elegance of cedarwood. It is a scent that transcends trends and endures through time.”
