Sophia Loren is the muse behind this seductive spring/summer 2008 photo session, for “Guess” diffusion line “Guess by Marciano”. Line “Gost”, of “Wilhelmina Models New York” plays Loren in the "unapologetically, sexy, trend-setting, glamorous and playful" images, which were shot by Bryan Adams. Even Loren's private hair-stylist, Peter Savic, was on hand to help keep the look as authentic as possible.

“This project is exactly what I have been waiting for. It not only celebrates a fashion icon that I consistently look to for inspiration, but it also brings our campaigns back to our roots - we wanted to reinvent the look and feel of classic black and white “Guess” advertisements from the 80s", said Paul Marciano, co-chairman for “Guess”.
