Around the shows lot of the time I don't know who I am photographing going by instinct and what I think looks good. Only to be blown away when later I am researching back home and in front of the computer. Stefano and Andrea were standing in the middle of a crowd and were quite bemused when I picked them out and asked if I could take their picture. Now the guys did mention Diesel when I interviewed them but still it never dawned on me. I just thought they worked for the brand. They do, but also are the brand - their Dad is Renzo Rosso the founder of Diesel. Stefano works on the development of their charitable arm
Only the Brave who's mission is to "Mobilize and empower youth
to end extreme poverty" you can see their manifesto here, it is a wonderful and powerful message. Andrea is the creative director of the 55DSL arm of Diesel. Stefano and Andrea are the eldest of Renzo's 6 children. Stefano is wearing a Viktor and Rolf jacket, Maison Margiela trousers and Diesel shoes. Andrea is head to toe in vintage.
