A ballet interview with Roberto Bolle

Posted Jul 27, 2010

Invited to the Dolce&Gabbana SS11 menswear show last June, Scala's principal ballet dancer Roberto Bolle explained to Swide the connection between the dancing world and fashion.

An extra aesthetic view on fashion that focuses on body proportions and harmonious silhouettes highlighted in the book pubished by teNeues in 2009 Roberto Bolle- An Athlete in Tights (Introduction by Bruce Weber; Text by Roberto Bolle, D.H. Lawrence and Pier Paolo Passolini). Roberto takes his Italian ambassador role very seriously and demonstrated how he thinks it is important as a master in performing arts to convey a message; giving a more polished approach to a world that seems sometimes too brutal, Roberto’s soft voice finished the conversation with greetings and wishes for Dolce&Gabbana, the Italian house just completed 20 years of menswear design and is about to offer us 20 more.
