The concept of masculinity is something that has changed over time. The picture on the left demonstrates one version that is defined as displaying some kind of masculinity. these men are actually doing some kind of manual labor in order to succeed. This concept of masculinity relates to Bulter's version of hypermasculinity because these men have the "body builder" look to them. These men might be seen as the typical "macho" man.
On the other hand the male version on the right relates to Clarkson's interpetation of men and how they are being changed into a metrosexual male; male that is worried about his looks and fitting in with the recent fashion styles. Clarkson's article talks about the tv show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and how these overly flamboyant homosexual men take a heterosexual man and change him. These two versions of masculinity are present currently, it only takes a better look at something to realize what is going on. It is surprising to me to see these two versions of masculinity present in Dolce & Gabbana ads.
