The American Gigolo

Dean and Dan Caten, the Canadian twins behind cool label Dsquared thought of Richard Gere's alter ego Julian Kaye (hence the "Julian" shirt above) in Paul Schrader's American Gigolo for their Spring/Summer 2011 collection. The show, as usual, visually transported the crowd to Kaye's bachelor pad in Los Angeles. While the collection was a hit-or-miss, the ad campaign has come to light (by this time I'm sure you seen it in Feb. issues). The gayest duo Mert & Marcus shot the campaign with styling genius Katie Grand. I love the Hemult Newton-ish vibe of the shots. I'm sure this is going to be a good season for the twins. The video below visually exemplifies the message of the collection (Sidenote: fyi high-rise jeans are not for everyone).
