AC Milan is proud to announce an exclusive collaboration with renowned luxury publisher Assouline in celebration of the Club’s 125th Anniversary. This prestigious partnership has given life to a special limited-edition photobook that tells the story of AC Milan as a unique design piece, offering fans a visual journey into the world of the Rossoneri while providing exclusive insights into the Club’s legacy, spirit, and vision.
The book is available in two elegant premium versions (Assouline’s Classics and Ultimate collections), designed for both devoted fans and collectors, capturing the essence of one of football’s most successful clubs, with over 49 national and international titles, and one of the most iconic jerseys in the international football landscape.
The “Classics” edition, presented in a luxury slipcase, offers a profound journey into AC Milan’s past, present, and future. For true aficionados, Assouline’s “Ultimate” edition is a remarkable collector’s piece, hand-bound using traditional techniques, with colour plates hand-tipped on art-quality paper, nestled in a luxury rubber clamshell that embodies the Club’s timeless allure and innovative spirit.
Enriched with photographs from the historical archives, including those of Getty Images and Studio Buzzi, along with original photos by Ethan White – a former professional footballer turned renowned sports and fashion photographer – the book provides a visual narrative of AC Milan’s history, capturing the passion, triumphs, and defining moments that have shaped the Club over the past 125 years.
With a foreword by Gerry Cardinale, Founder and Managing Partner of RedBird Capital Partners, and contributions from renowned journalists and writers James Horncastle and Federico Buffa, the book delves into AC Milan’s cultural significance and identity across seven core themes, from “Identity” and “Passion” to “Style” and more. Through captivating images and thoughtful narratives, these themes explore AC Milan’s role as an innovative global brand at the crossroads of sports, entertainment, and lifestyle, while also celebrating the Club’s passionate fanbase and its impact as a cultural and social institution committed to fostering positive change through football.
The official launch of the book took place last night at a special event held at the Bottega del Diavolo concept store and the Club’s Flagship Store on Via Dante in the heart of Milan, where a special photographic exhibition was also inaugurated, featuring images from the book and celebrating the deep connection between AC Milan and the city of Milan. The exhibition will be open for visitors until 2 December.
