Ooh Wrangler in France! Sexy Artsy Cool, aren’t ya?! You’re giving Lee and Levis a heads-up! Your new campaign looks pretty Bill Henson and Ryan McGinley** to me, I gotta say. Let’s see some more.

Yeah, definitely doing the attractive folks in the woods thing. And YOU ARE ANIMALS! Transgressive!

Still, I think Ryan‘s edgier and looser.

And Bill Henson‘s road is a bit more soulful.

Still, A for effort. And big ups for having a spooky video.


UPDATE: ok, ok ok.
My lunch date just told me that Ryan McGinley DID make this. And Tim Barber, too. I haven’t even checked my email yet, I’m sure there are scolding notes. I didn’t see you, PDN article. And I didn’t see the photographers’ names on the ad site where I found the images.

I have a feeling it’s hard to find McGinley or Barber’s name for a reason.

Thank god I guessed Ryan McGinley, eh? Glad I didn’t compare the work to Dash Snow’s or something. Now that would have been embarrassing.
