The friendship between Alessandro and the singer began with the arrival of the first in the fashion house as the creative director. Michele grew up on the music of Elton John and always admired his bold images. “When you work in fashion, you always come across the photos of Elton and David Bowie from the 70’s: the brightest guys in the world.
