DOLCE & GABBANA - MILAN FASHION SOCCER PLAYER PORTRAITS “ FASHION TODAY IS TO BE CONSIDERED THE NEW SOCCER. DRESSING THE A.C. MILAN PLAYERS ONE BY ONE, FINDING - WITH THEIR HELP - THE RIGHT ENSEMBLE AND COMBINING FASHION WITH PERSONAL NEEDS IS OUR WAY OF CONTINUING AN EXPERIMENT: NAMELY, EXPRESSING THE WORLD OF TODAY, THE CHANGES, THE BREAKDOWN OF BOUNDARIES, AND STRANGELY ENOUGH THE IMPORTANCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL, HIS OR HER UNIQUENESS.” DOMENICO DOLCE & STEFANO GABBANA

“MILAN FASHION SOCCER PLAYERS PORTRAITS” IS THE NEW BOOK DOLCE&GABBANA
DEDICATE TO A.C. MILAN: A SERIES OF SOPHISTICATED PORTRAITS IN BLACK AND WHITE SHOT AT MILANELLO BY PHOTOGRAPHER MARCO FALCETTA, WHOSE LENSES ARE NOT FOCUSING ON THE ATHLETES’ BODIES, AS ALREADY DONE IN THE PAST FOR MANYSUCCESSFUL BOOKS AND ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS, BUT PRESENT A PERSONAL VIEW OF THE PLAYERS.

THE BOOK OFFERS A NEW OCCASION FOR REFLECTION ON THE CHANGES IN SOCIETY AT THE TIME OF SOCIAL NETWORKS: FASHION, LIKE THE NEW SOCCER, BECOMES AVAILABLE TO EVERYBODY BUT AT THE SAME TIME, FASHION IS SEEN AS THE MODERN LANGUAGE TO EXPRESS ONE’S INDIVIDUALITY.

THE INTIMISTIC PORTRAITS, SIGNED BY YOUNG AND ECLECTIC PHOTOGRAPHER MARCO FALCETTA, HERE AT HIS F I RST COL LABORATION WITH DOLCE&GABBANA, OFFER A NEW IMAGE OF THESE MODERN GLADIATORS, WHERE THEIR STYLE IS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN MANY WORDS IN DESCRIBING THEIR MOOD AND PERSONALITY, AS PLAYERS AND AS MEN, IN A S E R I E S O F PAGES DEDICATED TO EACH MEMBER OF THE TEAM.

THIS PROJECT CONTRIBUTES TO THE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF FONDAZIONE MILAN, AN NPO THAT STARTED IN 2003 TO SUSTAIN REGULARLY VARIOUS ACTIVITIES AIMING AT PROMOTING SOCIAL WELL-BEING FOR THE WEAKEST AREAS OF THE POPULATION, WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON CHILDREN AND THEIR RIGHTS .
