Dennis Hopper: Fashion Player?

May 28, 2008 @ 1:59pm

Dennis Hopper Earlier this week, we got some sort of invitation from G-Star - apparently, they'd be working with Dennis Hopper on an upcoming bash.

Then Tod's sent us an email, saying that Gwyneth Paltrow had been directed by Dennis Hopper in new commercials for the brand.

And we're like, why?

So here's the possible fashion connections to actor Dennis Hopper:

1. Warhol made a print of him in the '70s.
2. He was friends with James Dean.
3. His third wife (of five wives) was named Daria.

Aside from that, we're totally lost, but as usual, we'll watch anything with Gwyneth Paltrow in it - even a handbag commercial.

umm. dennis hopper is a serious director, art collector, painter and photographer. im guessing this has more to do with that and less to do with fashion specifically.

yeah, he is a pretty important artist in general...if you want to know more about him (or just blindly assume his coolness fro this fact), you can check out his interview in the new V magazine...i love the posts 99% of the time, but in ones such as this, a bit of the art/avant-garde poseur comes through...yucky

I love him! He is so talented in everything, his voice-overs on the Gorillaz Albums were so intense!

ok he hangs out and has showings in my hometown of Palm Springs. his "artwork", if thats what you wanna call it, is boring, and is only considered becuase he's "Dennis Hopper."
hopefully this commercial is better than his pictures of trees! not to mention, way too pixelated!!!!
ughhhh!
