Fernando is the face of new fashion campaign

16/04/2009

Spanish national team and Liverpool FC striker Fernando Torres is to feature in the latest advertising campaign for Emidio Tucci, the fashion brand, named after a famous Milanese designer, whose collections are on sale exclusively in the outlets of Spain's biggest department store group, El Corte Inglés.

The footballer appears in a series of still photographs and video footage shot in Liverpool in March. They are the central focus of the campaign for the brand's new spring-summer collections, which officially begins on April 19.

As well as lightweight suits, the collections feature casual clothes with a marine-sports theme. Linen features prominently among the mix of materials, and another interesting textile twist is that some of the shirts have been treated with aloe vera.
