New Book: Uomini by Dolce & Gabbana

Masculinity and sensuality.

The images in this book are inspired by masculine archetypes, modern Adonises reminiscent of Greek and Roman traditions: the hero, the soldier and the sportsman.

The volume also depicts the male body in another perspective: as a model worth of inspiration, a beauty ideal which transcends time, trends and cultures.

Looking at the images shot by Mariano Vivanco what is noticeable is not just the array of well-known faces from international catwalks, but a snapshot of mankind. The perfect bodies and their tensed muscles, sculpted by training and discipline are almost reminiscent of an anatomy manual, and yet they do not lose one ounce of sensuousness and grace.
