CAMPAIGN: Banana Republic SS12

David Gandy's rough and hyper masculine aesthetic, seen mostly through his work with Dolce&Gabbana, is softened slightly in Banana Republic's vintage-inspired Spring/Summer 2012 campaign. Though we loath to compare the aesthetic to Mad Men, the reference would be fitting, given Banana Republic's range of Mad Men suits last season. For SS12, soft knits with elegant piping are key, as well as structured but tapered trousers and rich saturated colors.
