Once again, a great athlete poses before Domenico Dolce's camera lens: this time it's Lin Dan, Chinese badminton star and winner of two Gold Medals at the Olympics in Athens and London. The images, never published before and taken specially for this book, portray the young man in a previously unseen light, at times even brazen and unprincipled. In the photographs Lin Dan appears in many settings, interpreting a different role or character both historical and fantastical: from the seducer to the Greco-Roman hero, from the gladiator to the great Imperial Emperor, from the aristocratic dandy to the Neapolitan street urchin.
