Video: Jack Huston in Spring 2009 Yves Saint Laurent

Last night, Stefano Pilati kicked off Paris Men’s Fashion Week with a video presentation of his spring 2009 collection for Yves Saint Laurent. See, instead of a traditional runway show, he presented his new line in an artistic film starring Jack Huston (Angelica’s nephew) in the clothes. While fancy fashion insiders are viewing the video by special appointment in Paris over these next couple of days, you can watch it here from the comfort of your cube! And we must say, it’s pretty great. After all, it’s got everything any good avant-garde fashion movie should: naked skinny people, hypnotic music, French speaking, a dashing man, and even-more-dashing clothes. And it’s even tall-and-skinny, instead of horizontal! Basically, it’s the new benchmark for every East Coast film student, but in the best possible way. Enjoy.
