When musically-minded US menswear designer John Varvatos was casting around for a new front man to star in his latest campaign (previous ads have featured the likes of Paul Weller, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop and Slash), after a brief consultation with his little black book, it was his “great friend”, British music legend and Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page who got the call-up. <\/p>\n

Page is pictured posing next to 28-year-old emerging Texan guitar talent Gary Clark Jr. in a series of portraits entitled ‘The Master & The Young Guitar Slinger’ which reveal the ponytailed rocker to be quite the brooding muse, doing great justice to Varvatos’s particular brand of urban tailoring.<\/p>\n

Shot at South London’s historic Rivoli Ballroom – itself the setting for many a music legend down the years from Tina Turner to Kings of Leon – by acclaimed music photographer and documentary filmmaker, Danny Clinch, the black and white images are accompanied by a short filmof Clark Jr. playing guitar and singing at the ballroom interspersed with shots of Page cruising the South London streets in the back of a black cab.<\/p>\n

“Jimmy Page has been a music and fashion icon of mine since 1970. He has been a major influence and I am honored to call Jimmy a friend,” says Varvatos.<\/p>\n

And as for Gary Clark Jr. who New York Times recently referred to as being ‘the next Hendrix’?<\/p>\n

“[He’s] is the real deal – amazing guitar player, singer, songwriter and friend. Having ‘The Master’ and the ‘Young Guitar-Slinger’ together in our campaign is a dream come true.”<\/p>\n
