It Was Only a Matter of Time Before Roberto Rossellini Stepped in Front of the Camera
The son of iconic actress Isabella Rossellini, Roberto was initially resistant to a career in fashion. Now, he’s embraced it wholeheartedly — right down to his beauty and fitness routine. Here, get a glimpse at his grooming routine.
If there was one thing that struck Roberto Rossellini, son of actress Isabella and grandson of director Roberto, during his debut photoshoot, a spread in At Large magazine, it was the team’s wholehearted embrace of his hair. “I could be more myself in the shoot,” he explained. “My hair is cool — but it’s crazy…They were having fun with it, playing with it.” A relative newcomer to fashion, Rossellini signed with Ford Models over the summer, following (initially somewhat reluctantly) in the footsteps of his mother and elder sister, Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann, the model, socialite, and food writer. He’s possessed of a bright blue-green stare and an unruly head of hair dotted with beads and charms, a look that’s quickly becoming his trademark. Here, the latest Rossellini to step in front of the camera shares the grooming and fitness routine that got him camera ready this year.
