Steven Meisel Gives Dolce & Gabbana’s New Menswear Season Its Sharpest Face
It’s officially Fall/Winter campaign season, and Dolce & Gabbana has arrived exactly how you would expect: sharply dressed, unapologetically Italian and photographed by one of fashion’s all-time great image-makers, Steven Meisel.
The house’s Fall/Winter 2026 menswear campaign puts Meisel behind the lens once again, translating Dolce & Gabbana’s latest vision of masculinity into polished campaign imagery with enough attitude to make a simple portrait feel like an entrance.

The clothes come from a season Dolce & Gabbana introduced on the runway as The Portrait of Man, a collection centered on the idea that there is no single uniform for masculinity. Instead, the house built a wardrobe around different male identities, moods and ways of carrying oneself.
That means the familiar Dolce vocabulary is all here, but pulled in several directions at once: structured tailoring, velvet, compact wool, matte silk, brocade, relaxed trousers, oversized knitwear, denim, sports references and eveningwear all sit inside the same season.
There is also plenty of the house’s signature Black Sicily language — black knits, crisp white shirts, pinstripes, velvet suits and flat caps — while selected looks introduce burgundy, statement brooches, embroidered slippers and high-shine formal footwear.
Dolce & Gabbana even folds early-2000s denim references and sportier pieces into the mix, proving this is less about one rigid “Dolce man” and more about a whole room full of them.
And then you hand that wardrobe to Steven Meisel.
Meisel has spent decades making fashion images that instantly look like fashion history, and his controlled, high-impact approach makes particularly good sense for Dolce & Gabbana — a house that has never exactly been interested in disappearing quietly into the background.

Dolce & Gabbana may call the collection The Portrait of Man, but Meisel knows exactly how to make those portraits land: clean, commanding and just dramatic enough to remind us why campaign season is still fun.
