Giving his best Nick Jonas Marky Mark and her best Kate Moss, musician Justin Bieber and top model Lara Stone front the global Spring 2015 campaigns for both Calvin Klein Jeans and Calvin Klein Underwear in a steaming black and white series shot by acclaimed fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

The images, a tension-filled homage to the American fashion brand’s famous editorial history also continues Calvin Klein‘s longstanding pursuit of bringing music and pop culture icons together with fashion, following collaborations—just the past year alone—with the likes of Drake, Sam Smith, Kanye West, Harry Styles, Ciara, Usher, and more.

Calvin Klein is such an iconic brand and I am excited and honored to become a part of the brand legacy with this campaign. I have been a longtime fan of the brand and have worn their jeans and underwear for a while, so this is kind of a dream come true,” said Bieber in a statement. “This is the beginning of an exciting new year for me, personally and professionally, and being a part of this campaign has been a fantastic opportunity and experience.”

Nolan Gerard Funk is the New Face of Versace

To the left, to the left, Stefani Germanotta! Large fashion house campaigns are legendary for grabbing expertly-sculpted profiles/torsos to define the brand’s current and ever-evolving aesthetic, but few faces of fashion have as much buzz as the now-confirmed heartthrob Nolan Gerard Funk, who headlines Versace’s SS ’14 campaign. The Canadian-born actor/singer/dancer had a brief stint on Broadway, headlining a John Stamos/Gina Gershon Broadway revival of Bye, Bye, Birdie before roles on Fox’s Glee and MTV’s sleeper hit Awkward.

We’d be remiss not to mention his group sex scene in Paul Schrader’s ill-received The Canyons (“I don’t have an issue with sex scenes at all. There’ll be much more graphic scenes in my career, I’m sure. If anything, both Lindsay and I felt very strongly the love scene between us needed to be a lot longer,” he famously told Broadway.com back in August). But now he can add perhaps his most substantial credit to his ever-evolving CV, a campaign shot by fashion photography duo Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott. The first images can be seen here, with more to rollout soon.
