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.
