Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s 2 Sons Star in Bottega Veneta’s Father’s Day Campaign — See the Photos!
“It is about what completes my life now: being present as a partner and a parent,” A$AP Rocky said of the new photo series
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s little ones are already following in their parents’ fashion icon footsteps.
The couple’s sons, 2-year-old RZA and 10-month-old Riot Rose, are the stars of Bottega Veneta’s latest campaign, “Portraits of Fatherhood,” alongside their dad.
Photographed by Carrie Mae Weems and commissioned by the brand’s creative director, Matthieu Blazy, the black-and-white photography series shows the rapper, 35, interacting with his toddlers in a home-like setting.
The special campaign was released not only to celebrate Father’s Day — Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s first as a family of four — but also to mark Bottega Veneta announcing that the rapper is its latest brand ambassador.
The photos are also accompanied by a Weems-directed short film with music direction by A$AP Rocky.
In one sweet snapshot, RZA sits on Rocky’s shoulders, and in another, the “Everyday” musician plants a kiss on son Riot’s forehead while holding him high.
One other image from the campaign shows the two boys — both clad in onesies that read “best dad” — following in their father’s musical footsteps by playing on a toddler-sized piano.
Rocky sits right next to them in the birds-eye shot, looking over the brother duo while working from a full-size version of the instrument.
