Dolce & Gabbana are set to cause yet more controversy when their latest advert for spring hits the screen.

The designers have even remarked that their new ad campaign is likely to upset religious groups.

Speaking to Italy's La Stampa daily, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana said: "The next ad campaign will show men on their knees praying. For sure they will say we are offending religion. Instead it could be read as a return to values. And there is a need for that at this time."

Dolce & Gabbana have a long history of creating controversial fashion campaigns, with their 2007 advert being pulled from Spain because it was considered offensive to women.

Despite this fresh wave of controversy, the dynamic duo are gearing up to release their long-awaited first range of colour cosmetics next month.
