Damien Denim Finale

The coverage of Damien Hirst's latest antics have been exhaustive lately, we'll admit, but we'd feel remiss if we didn't bring you a report of the debut of Levi's Warhol Factory X line for spring/summer 2008 designed by Adrian Nyman in conjunction with the art world's resident rabblerouser. Here's what walked down the runway — a runway covered in the pattern of Hirst's dot paintings — at Gagosian Gallery on Saturday night:

They're weren't any sharkskin pants, as we thought there might be, but there were skinny, skinny jeans that sparkled not unlike the diamond-encrusted skull and, in fact, pants with skulls emblazoned on the back pockets; a lot of different pieces made with a fabric replicating Hirst's dot paintings; and also some spin-art jeans that played off the spin-art paintings — an image of a skull emerging from the background — that lined Gagosian's walls.

A mix of socialites, celebrities, and art world figures — Vincent Gallo, an Olsen twin, Bob Colacello, Vivi Nevo, Genevieve Jones, Hope Atherton — were there to check it out. Who will actually buy and wear pieces from the collection remains to be seen.

Check out New York Magazine's footage of the show (also interviews) here.
