Madonna has joined forces with Italian designers Dolce & Gabbana to showcase their spring/summer 2010 collection in the brand’s forthcoming ad campaign.

The adverts will be Sicilian-themed and were shot in Brooklyn, New York, by renowned fashion photographer Stephen Klein.

“To have Madonna in our campaign is a dream come true,” Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana said in a statement.

“It seemed only fitting that Madonna, who embodies both the strong sensuality of the brand and who shares an Italian heritage with the designers should be the one to showcase the Sicilian inspired collection,” the duo remarked of their upcoming collection, which is said to heavily feature corsets.

Madonna first met Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce back in the early 90’s on the set of the movie Dick Tracey.

D&G designed the costumes for Madonna’s 1993 “The Girlie Show Tour” as well as last year’s “Sticky & Sweet” trek around the globe.

Amazingly, after a decade and a half of appearing in Dolce & Gabbana clothing, this is the first time Madonna has modelled in the label’s ad campaign.

Dolce & Gabbana has released several backstage photographs from the Fall 2010 ad campaign starring Madonna. The black and white campaign, which features Madonna in secenes from typical Italian family life, was shot by Steven Klein in Harlem.

Where was it screened?

She looks really good here.....I don't mean to go off topic, but sometimes seeing her out and about dressed up makes me miss certain other artists her age no longer here, the two have been in my top 3 for ages and it kind of hurts though I'm glad she's living her life and I'm looking forward to the new album.

I regret not going to TIFF, I forgot she would be there. And I would have been the first to tell you guys if she acted mean to fans or not, though I didn't believe that rumor.

I remember when she used to release albums and such....

Her grandson is GORGEOUS.

Weinstein Company, which produced The King's Speech, has now acquired the film rights for W.E. directed by Madonna, a love story that spans 60 years and revolves around the romance of Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII. The film stars plenty of familiar faces: Abbie Cornish, Andrea Riseborough, James D'arcy, Oscar Isaac, Richard Coyle, James Fox, Laurence Fox, Natalie Dormer, Judy Parfitt and Geoffrey Palmer. Madonna's daughter Lola is also in the cast as the younger counterpart of Cornish's character.

“W.E. is about the nature of true love, and the sacrifices and compromises that are often made,” Madonna said in a press release. “I’ve wanted to tell this story for a very long time, and bringing it to life has been a great adventure for me. I’m looking forward to working with Harvey [Weinstein] and The Weinstein Company on this film.”

For his part, Weinstein teases that moviegoers should look forward to seeing what Madonna has to offer: “Madonna has really come into her own as a filmmaker with W.E. … She’s taken one of the most famous romances of the 20th century and brought it to life in a smart, sexy and thoroughly modern way. It’s a terrific addition to our U.S. release slate."
