Bellissimo - by Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

New unpublished and unveiled photos of a rising star: from Dolce&Gabbana advertising campaigns to a darling of the new Hollywood.

The actor, musician, and painter Michele Morrone has captured the world's attention as both fashion luminary and a fast-rising star in international cinema. Morrone turned heads as the protagonist of Dolce&Gabbana's Spring-Summer 2023 eyewear advertising campaign, while starring the same year alongside Katy Perry in a commercial for the Devotion perfume, shot in Capri by Paolo Sorrentino. Morrone gained global recognition in the movie 365 Days and its sequels on Netflix, and features alongside Anthony Hopkins in the highly anticipated biopic Maserati: The Brothers, directed by Bobby Moresco. This monograph recounts the success of an incredible star through a series of unpublished images made specifically for this project, which celebrates Morrone's already considerable fame as an actor and sex symbol for our time.

About the Author

Domenico Dolce, born in 1958 in Sicily, began collaborating with his father in the family clothing business while studying fashion design. Stefano Gabbana, born in 1962 in Milan, brought his graphic design background to his early work with fashion studios. They met when Stefano Gabbana phoned the tailor's workshop in which Domenico Dolce worked and became companions in life and business when they founded Dolce&Gabbana. Their debut, dating to October 1985, saw the designers present their first collection to great acclaim. Since then, Dolce&Gabbana has been in constant and unstoppable ascendancy.
