Damiano David, the lead vocalist of the Italian rock band Måneskin, graces the cover of Vogue Italia’s January 2025 issue, photographed by Steven Klein at the iconic Chateau Marmont.
This marks David’s second appearance on the magazine’s cover; he previously featured alongside his bandmates in December 2022.
In the accompanying interview, David discusses his recent move to Los Angeles to record his debut solo album, set for release in 2025. He reflects on the cultural adjustments and the creative freedom he has experienced in the city, stating, “Non avevo un background e, in pratica, potevo essere chiunque volessi.”
Photographer Steven Klein describes David as “Una figura scolpita nel marmo italiano: cruda, durevole, primordiale,” highlighting his raw and enduring presence.
This cover makes David the first European man to appear solo on the cover of Vogue Italia, underscoring his rising prominence in the fashion and music industries.
The editorial showcases David in various ensembles, including a total look by Prada, a trench by Ferragamo, and accessories from Cartier and Oscar’s Design Jewelry, reflecting his evolving personal style and deepening relationship with fashion.
“I would wake up in the morning and couldn’t wait to get to the studio. It was a feeling I had lost over the years.”
