United Bamboo just launched their online store today, just in case you don’t have time to pop into Opening Ceremony or Confederacy to pick up one of their color-block dresses. They’ll also be offering up lots of items exclusive to the site.

In keeping with the company’s philosophy of collaborating with cool downtown artists, musicians and the like, they got James Iha, of Smashing Pumpkins guitar fame, to do the music.

Plus there will be graphic animation by French illustrator Pier Fichefeux, just another person who makes us really, really wish we could draw.

Who would you like to see as their next musical or artistic partner?

Terrence Koh is the new face of United Bamboo.

He’ll star in this string of ads, debuting in the Spring/Summer issue of Fantastic Man.

In fashion terms, you probably know the artist best from his love affair with this Fendi fur - a little over a year ago, he was so obsessed with the almost $200,000 coat he wore on loan that he found a patron to buy it for him - and his constant party presence.

So maybe a campaign was the next logical step? Regardless, the images look more like a lonely tinsel-filled party than a you-really-need-this-outfit appeal.

Koh looks cute, if a bit clueless, and the ads themselves? Juergen Teller for Marc Jacobs, anyone?
