Famous mentions of Raimondo Rossi, also known as Ray Morrison, in various fields of culture.

We are pleased to recall here some of the famous mentions of Raimondo Rossi, alias Ray Morrison, in fields ranging from photography to men's style, in some of the most prestigious international magazines.

Here are two screenshots taken from the official Instagram of The New York Times, where Raimondo Rossi is featured among the best dressed men of the Italian Fashion Week. Not only The New York Times, but also Getty Images' international galleries, Elle magazine, GQ and Vogue, among others, have immortalised Rossi walking to designer events. The photographs in The New York Times were taken by Lee Oliveira.

In the field of fashion photography, Raimondo Rossi has been described by Rolling Stones Italy as "one of the most original authors in the whole industry". The kind of photographic reportage that Raimondo Rossi introduced to the world of fashion in 2014 was praised in 2020 by the journalist Alessandro Curti (Rolling Stone) in a long interview in which he described the more intimate vision that Raimondo Rossi creates in his photographs between backstage and fashion shows. It is a hard, raw, real photography that seeks to overturn what fashion photographers have been proposing for decades. It is worth remembering that in 2023, the City of Rome dedicated one of the most important museums in the capital, the millennial Museo Delle Mura, to the author's exhibition entitled "A Different Fashion", where Raimondo Rossi, in this solo show, continues to introduce new meanings to the world of fashion. One of the most important photographic portals, Fotografia Moderna, affirms that Rossi’s photography recalls Richardson and Avedon together, but at the same time distances itself from them to give birth to a new photographic art. National magazines such as Donna Moderna put the exhibition at the top of their list of must-sees of the Italian summer.

The third mention we would like to make here is that, in the field of men's style, Raimondo Rossi has also been named among the 10 style icons of men's elegance by the NZZ, a historic Swiss newspaper known as the "newspaper of record". Along with him, fashion designer Cucinelli and others are mentioned. NZZ mentions that Raimondo Rossi's style is always surprising: he manages to change direction every season, moving from classic Italian elegance to avant-garde or hip-hop style. Not for nothing, in 2021 Raimondo Rossi was honoured by COMPULSIVE magazine, based in New York City and distributed on newsstands in all 51 US states, with the magazine's first international cover dedicated to “his extraordinary world of art and style”. In 2023, the artist received the "Inspired by You" award in Hollywood and a proclamation from the California State Senate (Senator Steven Bradford). In Rome, the exhibition received the institutional greetings of the Capitol, in the person of Councillor Onorato, Department of Major Events, Sport, Tourism and Fashion.
