This weekend’s NY Times alerted us that designers are recruiting socialites for ads, hoping to sprinkle status on handbags.

The obvious extension then is a backpack manufacturer recruiting a DJ collective for its new campaign.

Good job Eastsport! Nothing says “back to school” like doing rails off Chloe Sevigny’s ass in the Don Hills bathroom.

But, unlike K-Fed (bottom graph), will Leigh, Greg, & Geo actually use the product they’re pitching? We’ll find out at Siren, where they’ll be spinning all day.

You might’ve seen the MisShapes/Eastsport full-pager in the new Spin with Beyonce (!) on the cover. Funny/sad how the ads are more interesting than the content.

    Will we see Bronques in assless pants photographing two skanks finger fucking each other in some coat closet to sell back to school jackets? maybe.

  6. ewww.

  7. Weird marketing. Is anyone outside of the lame-o, two years too late kids that go to Mishapes going to even care who these average-looking Hot Topic models are? And are those same hipsters ever going to buy such a frumpy looking backpack?

  8. how about the fact spin voted leigh i their top 25 people under 25. that girl just puts on the killers songs from her ipod. useless trash they are.
