The citrus and aquatic freshness bound with warm and woody papyrus creates a striking and powerful scent that exudes masculinity.
And yet, Dylan Blue’s undertones of warm saffron is a reminder of man’s inherent tenderness and vulnerability – a tenderness captured by Bruce Weber his Versace film. Weber reveals the secret softness of male martial arts fighters and the intoxicating effect this has on a woman: Gigi Hadid.
“I’ve been watching lots of movies lately where the actors are mixed martial arts fighters. It seems like they are always proving themselves, so that the women characters will fall in love with them. I thought it would be interesting to do some photographs and make a film that dealt with this kind of relationship. Many women I know really respect the sensitivity and vulnerability of men. I wanted to show that men can have these qualities while remaining very strong and disciplined – like great athletes – and still fall in love with the girl of their dreams. For me, Versace has always represented this kind of driving passion. That’s why I’ve always loved working with them – they give photographers and filmmakers like me the freedom to imagine a big life.”
