Besides the cast, personally chosen by Alessandro Michele, the Creative Director also invited a selection of special guests to take part in the campaign: Måneskin (Damiano David, Victoria de Angelis, Thomas Raggi and Ethan Torchio), the multi-platinum selling Italian band atop global charts with more than 3.2 billion total streams on all the digital platforms, and the prolific American model Kristen McMenamy, known for redefining the conventions of beauty throughout her career.
