Chris Roome’s newest project with long-term client Mariano Vivanco is literally all around London town. Dolce & Gabbana’s third in a series of underwear campaigns featuring Italian athletes shows what we are missing by putting the Italian swim team under water.

“The Swimming team games were scheduled for June in Rome,” explains photographer Mariano. “D&G are always on the ball and are great at grabbing the perfect opportunity to feature the next big thing in their upcoming campaigns. They are truly two of the few last great designers.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed working on this campaign,” Chris tells us about his third D&G shoot. “I feel this was the best of the three athlete’s campaigns so far, everything on set worked out so well. The fresh blue of the pool complemented the colour of the skin beautifully, and it’s really cool to see them everywhere now.”

All images can be found on Mariano’s website, and this interview reveals more about the shoot.
