Shubhankar Ray, Global Brand Director of G-Star RAW explains: “Vincent is unorthodox, authentic, imperfect and raw; all characteristics matching G-Star’s DNA. We are happy to have an independent trailblazer and cultural artist like Vincent as our new face.”

 Iconic photographer and film maker Anton Corbijn created the beautiful and raw black and white images at the Port Autonome in Marseille.

The  the full G-Star RAW A/W 2011 campaign will  officially mid September 2011. If you like what you see then  you can purchase the garments through G-Star Stores, marked with a special hang-tag for easy identification at the same time the campaign officially launches.

Longtime friends Eva Herzigova and Shalom Harlow starred in the latest H&M campaign for spring 09. The two models posed alongside Vincent Gallo in, on top of and next to various red-orange oversized shapes. I think the campaign is super adorable; it’s airy, fun and carefree. The clothing is looking mighty fab as well. I can’t wait to see what else H&M has in store for this season.

I’m not sure why Vincent Gallo is invited to Fashion Week every year, probably to create easy content for bloggers like myself and the good people at Blackbook. Blackbook’s videographer Liz Glover had a run-in with Gallo about the authenticity of his leather jacket.

Here’s what happened:

So yes, our videographer Liz Glover has a certain history with Vincent Gallo. And though things began civilly enough, things degenerated when — all in good fun! — Liz made a crack about Gallo’s leather jacket, asking if it was in fact pleather. Let the record reflect we are in no way insinuating that Vincent Gallo would wear a pleather jacket! Quite the opposite in fact. Nevertheless, the jibe inspired Gallo’s ire: “If you print that [Ed. note: 'print'?], I will track you down and make you wish you had never been born.”
