UOMO
Welcome to the World of the Zegna Man,
WHO LIVES WITH PASSION AND STEPS UP TO HIS DESTINY

A cinematic exploration of what it means to be a man that lives with passion, who steps up towards his destiny. Welcome to the aspirational world that accompanies the launch of UOMO, the new fragrance for men from Ermenegildo Zegna.
The film, shot by Jonas Åkerlund, was conceived as a modern monument to masculinity. It is the compelling story of a man with an undeniably strong appetite for life who is on a personal quest to find his equal.
As the Zegna Uomo man, brought to life by Zegna’s classic ambassador model Ryan Burns, pursues his goal, the action pulses with the radiant energy of a natural phenomenon. First taking the viewer on an elegant thrill ride along winding cliffs that are both tantalizing and dynamic with their beauty and suggestion of danger.
The narrative takes an ascendant turn at Casa Malaparte, an autobiographical and architectural feat built with a reverence for its unique Italian landscape. Its iconic presence makes it a most fitting landmark for this modern fragrance icon. Envisioned and built in 1942 on a peninsula on the Isle of Capri by Italian journalist and writer Curzio Malaparte, Casa Malaparte is a testament to masculine determination and intensity, and therefore a perfect centerpiece of the Uomo film.
As the Uomo man climbs its formidable stairs, his destiny comes closer with every step. His progress is a potent reflection on what has been, and a majestic projection of what will be. The scene explodes with confidence and power. As he reaches the summit, he is one with the landscape and with his equal. The world is his for the taking.
“UOMO represents modern masculinity for the aspirational man who lives with passion and not only steps up towards his destiny, but achieves all that he wants out of life. It is a world where craft, culture and creativity merge, and where Zegna has been a pioneer for decades,” said Veronique Gabai-Pinsky, Global Brand President, Aramis & Designer Fragrance Division, The Estee Lauder Companies.
The print media, shot by Matthew Brookes, creates an elegant and seamless message. Composed to highlight the intensity of the moment, it has the aura of a set of film stills. The narrative progression highlights the coming together of man and woman. The image captures the tension that propels this preordained meeting of two who were meant to be. Partners in ambition and partners in intimacy. As framed, their meeting is as enticing as it is inevitable.
