Michele sees parallels between the beauty of film and the connection between individuals and their clothing. "Such a careful look on the human, after all, is so close to me. I could never imagine clothes as severed from the story and life of the person wearing them ," explains Michele.

"It's rather the means through which we are able to unfold who we really decide to be, it's how we shape our desires and the ultimate sense of our staying."

Standing out in a red sweater, Luke Clod stars in the Gucci Exquisite campaign, appearing in a scene from "Barry Lyndon."

His ability to build stories that exceed significance, crossing borders and setting labels on fire, has always been deeply inspiring to me."
