Robert De Niro is the unlikely star for Ermenegildo Zegna’s new fashion campaign. Artistic director Alessandro Sartori roped in De Niro in November 2016 to star in the Spring Summer 2017 cmpaign and the final project, titled Defining Moments, has now been unveiled, with De Niro appearing opposite American Honey star McCaul Lombardi. Both men appear in a three-minute film in which, as well as modelling garments by the label, a navy suit, and a grey jacket paired with black shirt and trousers, De Niro also discusses working with Marlon Brando, his early mentors, his doubts about TV work, his passion for New York, and what makes him take a role in various LA locations. The Hollywood actor has long worn Ermenegildo Zegna suits and has even sported the label in front of the camera, wearing a number of looks from the brand in his 2012 movie Red Lights.
