Dior Homme designer Kris Van Assche hired Jeff Burton (the photographer, not the race-car driver) to shoot the latest ad campaign for his own label. Van Assche praised Burton for his "unique and radical" approach — his specialty is reinterpreting pornography for consumption in a contemporary, seductive way. Burton shot the campaign in a laundromat in Los Angeles with three male porn actors. "Jeff and I discussed a wide range of subjects such as creativity, doubt, pride, shame, family, vulnerability, respect and freedom," Van Assche says. "I didn’t involve myself in the shoot, though — I wanted to maintain the viewpoint of a witness or spectator." We'd say they turned out quite an interesting campaign. Who needs models when you've got porn stars? See the images in the slideshow.
