Elordi joined Michals in the photographer’s Gramercy Park apartment for the shoot.

The resulting images are featured in What Are Dreams, an evocative campaign launched by Bottega Veneta. Alongside the photographs, a short behind-the-scenes film was released. In the film, Elordi sits in a rocking chair and softly recites a poem written by Michals.

Gentle piano music underscores the poetic reading, enhancing the campaign’s contemplative mood. In 2024, Elordi was named brand ambassador for Bottega Veneta.
