A great athlete poses before Domenico Dolce's camera lens: Lin Dan, Chinese badminton star and winner of two gold medals at the Olympics in Athens and London.
The images in Lin Dan-never before published and taken specially for this book-portray the young man in a previously unseen dimension, at times even brazen and unprincipled. In each of these photographs, Lin Dan appears in ever-different situations, each of which interpret a specific role: 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.
