Dolce & Gabbana has crafted this book together with Lionel Messi, forward for Barcelona and the Argentine National team, winner of three consecutive Ballons d’Or.
The images portray the soccer player in a very private dimension, far from the referees’ whistles and the stadium steps. A Messi we have not seen before, revealed to us at his deepest and most intimate through Domenico Dolce’s creativity and eye.

Taken especially for this project, the photos convey the emotions, feelings and passions of this young man who faced adversity with courage in pursuing his dream to become the number one of world’s football. And unlike many of the champion of the past, Leo combines his prodigious feats on the field with an absolutely ordinary and moderate lifestyle, a simple appearance and a frank and direct manner, making him not only the ideal interpreter of the Dolce & Gabbana style, but also of a new era.
