Last year, Fabio Bartelt shot a denim editorial for the special jeans issue of ffw mag. Jesus Luz made it in one of the shots. More after the jump.




Argentinean brand Ona Saez did a great job in their recent campaigns (see here & here). For their upcoming Spring-Summer 2010 ads, they have the in-demand Jesus Luz. See more at Made in Brazil, who have some multiple choice options to vote on who is to blame for the cheesy poses and props. I don’t blame Jesus, I blame whoever asked him to strike these poses, hold that mug, wear that t-shirt, and drew on his chest.

After walking the Dolce & Gabbana runway, Jesus Luz was lucky enough to get the Mariano Vivanco [blog, site] treatment for a new Italian GQ feature. Mariano describes Jesus as being ‘humble, hard working and an overall cool guy.’ You know, I have been hearing only good things about Jesus from the people who actually work and interact with him. So let’s forget about the silly media and give this young Brazilian a chance. He’s rocking those D&G undies!
Here are some shots of Mariano and Jesus during the shoot.

As I was hoping, the rest of the ads from the Dolce & Gabbana Menswear Fall 2009-Winter 2010 campaign are much better than the first ad we saw. In fact, I really like the campaign as a whole, and I think Steven Klein did a good job. Many people hate the presence of Jesus Luz and the Photoshopped scenes, but I actually like them. It’s D&G, and it’s their signature style to have many models crammed in each ad. The boxing theme inspired by the movie “Rocco e I Suoi Fratelli” and the struggle between the characters lends an emotional depth and dramatic story to the ads.
The ads feature David Gandy, Noah Mills, Julienne Quevenne, Cory Bond, Jesus Luz, Adam Senn, and Eva Herzigova.

The presence of Jesus Luz in the new Dolce & Gabbana menswear ad was met with mostly negative reactions across the blogosphere. The Fashionisto is certainly not a fan of Jesus popping up in ad campaigns. For their post on the new Pepe Jeans Fall-Winter 2009 ads, Carl @ Fashionisto omitted Jesus’s name from the credits. And in case you think it was omitted by mistake, here is his colorful reaction to people noticing that omission.
Although I also believe that Jesus ruined that particular D&G ad (we await to see the rest of the ads), I think he looks pretty good in these Pepe Jeans ads. But maybe it’s because he kinda blends in with the background, as opposed to being in the foreground of the D&G ad. Out of the six featured models, he is the furthest one from view in both ads.
So enough about Jesus and on to the ads themselves. They were shot by Tom Munro and feature Jacques Naude, Michael Camiloto, Hanne-Gaby Odiele, Agnete Hegelund, Anabela Belikova, and the controversial Jesus Luz.

So the rumors were true, Jesus Luz in fact stars in the new Dolce & Gabbana Menswear Fall-Winter 2009 ad campaign. WWD shared the first image of the Steven Klein helmed campaign, which has the usual D&G suspects: David Gandy, Noah Mills, Julienne Quevenne, Cory Bond, and Adam Senn [The City on MTV]. Supermodel Eva Herzigova also makes an appearance.
The campaign is inspired by the Italian boxing-themed film “Rocco e I Suoi Fratelli” (“Rocco and His Brothers”) by director Luchino Visconti. Since we only have the above photo from the new campaign, I am sharing some of the memorable past Dolce & Gabbana menswear ads below. Enjoy the homoerotic goodness.

Jesus Luz is the cover boy of the upcoming issue #16 of L'Officiel Hommes. In the editorial ‘Ray of Light’ by Milan Vukmirovic, Jesus makes sure he gives Madonna a shout out by wearing a Madonna cap, good boy! I really like the beach scenes, which took place in Miami, very Cherish..
