Not only do Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott photograph the Gucci Spring 2010 campaign, the duo has also taken up the task of capturing Riccardo Tisci’s acid trip prints and high contrast colors.

Shooting a cast of Givenchy regulars, all no strangers to the house’s Paris runway, last season’s bowl cuts and bedroom get swapped out for a basic studio and interesting widow’s peak (on Simon Nessman). Which may or may not remind you of Eddie Munster…

Below I count 2 women and 4 men. Though the campaign supposedly features a cast of 3 men.

Can you spot the tattooed missing link? *Update – it’s Eduardo Calero*

Great news for you readers in Japan! Why-lip.com has now updated their online shelves with Milan and Paris’ Spring 2010 collections. Featuring everything from Givenchy’s tartan shorts and gladiator-style high trainers, to Gareth Pugh’s shredded knit sweaters and multi-zip jackets. Some of which can already buy with a 5% discount.

On an Interesting Side Note – The seemingly bottle blonde modeling Gareth Pugh’s latest collection on both Why-lip.com and Lusiaviaroma.com is none other than…*drum roll please*…Pugh’s boyfriend Carson McColl (who you might remember from Jak and Jil). Interesting indeed.

Though we’re going  have to wait a little bit longer for the latest from Paris, it’s certainly worth your time. As Bruno Pieters steps down at Hugo by Hugo Boss to focus more on developing his own line, and Roland Mouret plans to display a 15-piece collection of men’s tailored clothing and separates, I wouldn’t miss out on Paris fashion week if I were you.

I’m already excited to see what Riccardo Tisci, Raf Simons, Juun J., and my other usuals have in store. Let’s just cross our fingers and hope that Christophe Decarnin has finally gotten the memo.

Acting almost as if the house’s Resort 2010 ads had never ended, Ryan Kennedy and the rest of the Gucci gang (minus Snejana Onopka) pick up where last season’s campaign left out. Continuing on with a poolside beachy feel that you may have gained through the Versace Spring 2009 ad campaign, photographed by Mario Testino.

Shot in Palm Beach by duo Mert & Marcus, remixed versions of Frida Giannini’s up beat and sporty Spring 2010 collection are given an all new lusty edge. Including a large duffel bag that was not seen in the June runway show. Excitedly making me think, what will come next…? Surly, this campaign will make Mark Ronson’s love affair with Gucci last a bit longer.

Stay tuned for when the full campaign is released.
