Review
"People are fascinated by the bodies of athletes but -at the right moment -the ssecret of their drive, ambition, and passion can be seen concentrated in their faces alone. For this reason the portraits in this book focus on moments and faces collected under the art direction of the Giorgio Armani design studios. They are the Faces of Sport."

Book Description
Only Armani could have gathered sports portraits by Annie Leibovitz, Peter Lindbergh, Mario Testino, and Bruce Weber of sports bodies and faces we know and love: Serena Williams, Rick Fox, Tiger Woods, David Beckham, Boris Becker, Evander Holyfield, Fiona May, Ronaldo, Pete Sampras, Lennox Lewis, and even Arnold Schwarzenegger. The Armani dream team includes truly inspirational photographs of Special Olympics athletes in recognition of the extraordinary achievements of these sportsmen and women. All these baseball players, boxers, cyclists, swimmers, tennis, soccer, and rugby players are seen in three views: up close in portrait, in action on the field; and then dressed like winners that each of them are, in Armani.
This gorgeous two-volume slip-cased edition is also intended to make a difference. All profits from sales of this book will go to Special Olympics.
