Ebony + Ivory, Peanut Butter + Jelly, Lebron + The Heat.  All of these are matches that only make sense in hindsight.  For the G-Star Fall 2010 campaigns, Liv Tyler and Magnus Carlsen are the perfect contrast.

Liv Tyler, a rockstar’s daughter and beautiful actress, has been the face of G-Star since the Spring of 2010.  Magnus Carlsen is a Norwegian chess Grandmaster and the No. 1 in the world; at only age 19.  Both fusing greatness from two different worlds for one brand, G-Star.

In support of the Fall/Winter 2010 advertising campaign, G-Star will travel to the Cooper Square Hotel inNew York City on September 10^th 2010, to host a global chess competition: The RAW World Chess Challenge. This challenge gives everyone in the world the opportunity to play Magnus Carlsen, together at once, live on the internet.

The RAW World Chess Challenge is offering Magnus the opportunity to prove that he truly is the world’s best chess player… but only if he can beat the entire world first!

John Galliano reminds us that in 2010 fashion is season-less.  With tulips and roses, it’s spring time in the fall! The plastic wrap head pieces were contributed by Stephen Jones and the inspiration, other than the obvious, involved flower watching and studying flower photographers such as Irving Penn and Nick Knight.

Elie Saab.

So far the beau of the ball, Elie Saab was inspired by his love for Fenice the La, a Venetian opera house.

Armani Prive.
