DOLPH LUNDGREN is the testimonial for the CDLP MOBILITÉ Sportswear Essential Collection, photographed by Jonas UNGER c/o BIRD PRODUCTION in Marbella
Jonas UNGER c/o BIRD PRODUCTION photographed actor and Swedish Kyokushin Master Dolph Lundgren for CDLP MOBILITÉ. The Sportswear Essentials Collection is made from recycled and organic materials. CDLP Art Director Christian Larson chose the Swedish actor because of his experience of life, philosophy and his commitment to strengthening the mind as much as the body : “He’s truly the antithesis of traditional masculinity, he is humbly self-aware, connected to his emotions, peacefully confident, inspirational, and aspirational.”
The campaign and lookbook were photographed on a sunny day in Marbella, where the Hollywood star has lived for several years. Dolph Lundgren gained international fame in the role of Soviet boxer Ivan Drago in Rocky IV – The Fight of the Century. He then appeared in numerous action movies, directed and wrote a fitness book.
Before that, Jonas UNGER c/o BIRD PRODUCTION had the chance to stage pop icon Sébastien Tellier for Swedish menswear label CDLP (GoSee NEWS).
About – CDLP was founded in 2016 to revolutionize men’s underwear, launching a new generation of products crafted with intention and purpose. Today, CDLP is a design house of focused luxury essentials in the categories of underwear, tops, swim- and poolwear, performance, and home.

TRUE RELIGION featuring singer-songwriter YENDRY – photos by Mathilde BRESSON c/o ALYSSA PIZER MANAGEMENT
Yendry Cony Fiorentino, aka Yendry, is a Dominican-Italian singer and songwriter. Yendry first became popular in Italy in 2012 thanks to her participation in the sixth edition of X Factor Italy, which brought her a record deal with Sony Music Italy.
On 15 April, 2021, she was among the performers at the Latin American Music Awards 2021. And on 7 June, 2021, she was nominated as Best New Artist at the MTV Millennial Awards 2021. Her Spotify profile has meanwhile more than twelve million streams.
Mathilde BRESSON c/o ALYSSA PIZER MANAGEMENT photographed the singer for the label TRUE RELIGION.
True Religion : “All eyes on Yendry – the Afro-Latina pop artist serves unconventional style at her own tempo. Yendry speaks the language of self love and staying true to your most authentic self. In celebration of Latinx Heritage Month, we tapped into the wisdom of Afro-Latina pop artist Yendry – our minds set on learning what provokes her unconventional style and unapologetic attitude towards life, music, and why making mistakes is better than not trying at all. The vibes were good, the conversation was even better.”
The American fashion label True Religion Apparel Inc. was founded in 2002 by the couple Denn Jeffrey and Kim Lubell. The first True Religion store opened in Los Angeles in December 2002.
