Bolle Is The New Face (And Hawt Body) Of Ferragamo

Praise the Lord for the haus of Salvatore Ferragamo: the Italian brand has joined the cult of Roberto Bolle hiring the primo ballerino of la Scala as their new face (and bod, especially).

This coming Tuesday Bolle at the Palazzo della Borsa (the very cool stock exchange building in downtown Milan) will appear at the Ferragamo pret-a-porter show; he will also invade Italian and foreign cities and magazines with a massive ad campaign shot by Mario Testino. Bolle will also dance in Shanghai, on March 28, at the 100 year anniversary party of the Florentine maison.

A new Ferragamo shoe, designed for Bolle, will be named after him.

We can only hope the Bolle shoe comes in stilettos, too, because we'd hate to have to start wearing man shoes to support our boi.

I want a BIG bolle-ful of that! I just ordered Bolle's Midsummer Night's Dream DVD; any others you guys recommend?

Well, it's about time they start putting him out there for cult consumerism. And he's a worthy competitor for Beckham. I will stay tuned to OC for all the yummy billboard shots and magazine ads. Please don't disappoint us!

hot d+mn and he can dance too....

[whats opera doc]

what does it say for the cast of the filmed La Scala AIDA that Bolle gets triple the amount of applause than any of the singers, the conductor, or the director/designers?

Try EXCELSIOR. He only dances the featured role of "The Slave" but what a featured role. In fact, the whole ballet is well worth seeing.
Here's a clip of Bolle without music:

but if you scroll down the "Related Videos" list you'll find pretty much the whole ballet in 15 clips.
