Indie actor and musician Michael Pitt is trading in his grubby jeans and tees for a little Yves Saint Laurent. Michael is the star of a short film produced by the luxury fashion label. It will screen at the launch of Stefano Pilati’s new collection in Paris this week.
You might have seen Michael Pitt in gritty independent films like Last Days, Bully, and Hedwig and the Angry Inch. When he’s not lighting up the silver screen he takes the mic with New York post-grunge outfit Pagoda. It’s all a world away from the polish of Yves Saint Laurent, so the casting choice is an interesting one.
Michael’s already got those compelling baby blue eyes, but he’s bound to look a lot more handsome under the direction of famed photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.
Michael will take front row at Wednesday’s event, which will include a film screening, small runway show, and cocktail reception.
