For those of you still hungry for more Spring 09 ad campaign news, get excited:
Dolce & Gabbana still has more ads to come out alongside their shots of Karlie, Caroline and Mariacarla, this time of men “on their knees praying.”
The Italian duo swears everyone will take it the wrong way and claim they’re offending religion, claiming that they’re actually promoting a “return to values.”
Either way, we’re sure this is a call for every reporter to get Dolce’s PR on speed dial - As a matter of fact, we haven’t really heard much about them in a while…
It seems like every time we hear about a designer collaborating on a building, it’s going to be in Dubai.
So we were a little surprised this morning when we read that Donatella Versace was designing the interior renovation of the Clock Tower building at 5 Madison Avenue, including 55 apartments (and one enormous penthouse), and a spa which is expected to total around $1 billion.
This is especially interesting since everyone’s expecting the cost of real estate in Manhattan to eventually go the way of the rest of the country, so clearly Versace and co. don’t expect that to happen any time soon.
The project should be done in about two years - expect leather carpets and solid gold tubs.
