STYLE FILE THE ITALIAN JOB Fashion icon Domenico Dolce turns to photography and spotlights his most Italian of interests, soccer. Domenico Dolce rose to international stardom as half of the famous design team behind Dolce & Gabbana, but the passionate Italian has recently turned his creative eye to photography. His subjects: soccer players, both fresh and iconic. Campioni, Dolce's first book, highlights 67 soccer players shot against stark white backgrounds. "I wanted to pay tribute to the strength and innocence of these players at the same time," he says. The striking studio set-up allows for a strong sense of connection between Dolce and his subjects through glances or barely perceptible gestures. Stefano Gabbana, his longtime partner, says, "In Domenico's photos, fashion and sport meet and confront themselves. They talk about style and male aesthetic. They speak to the heart."
