Rafael Nadal: Emporio Armani's Next Male Underwear Model

Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal is the model for Emporio Armani's Spring/Summer 2011 campaign.

Giorgio Armani has a certain talent for taking well-known male athletes and making them into celebrity sex symbols — and in the mean time selling lots of product. So the company's recent announcement that Spanish tennis champ Rafael Nadal would be the model for Emporio Armani's Spring/Summer 2011 campaign has attracted a lot of attention. 

Following in the steps of the more muscular Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo (who showed his physique not only in  Armani underwear photos and TV commercial, but also posed in underwear on the pages of Vanity Fair), Nadal is sure to go way up in the Google search category as a result of this shrewd move. This is a sneak peek at a couple of Nadal's new photo campaign; more to come as soon as they are released.

Giorgio Armani tiene un cierto talento para convertir deportistas famosos en símbolos sexuales de farándula, mientras vende sus productos. Pues las noticias que el tenista español Rafael Nadal sería el modelo oficial para la campaña de Emporio Armani esta primavera y verano ha llamado mucha atención.  


Siguiendo el futbolista portugues Cristiano Ronaldo (quien mostró su cuerpo no solo en fotos y un comercial de televisión para ropa interior de Armani; sino también posó en ropa interior en las páginas de Vanity Fair), Nadal seguro que llegará a ser una búsqueda aún más popular en Google. Aquí están unas muestras de la campaña con Nadal; publicaré más cuando salgan.
