Movie star Ashton Kutcher stars in the Fall / Winter 2008 campaign for Pepe Jeans London alongside beautiful model, Isabeli Fontana.
The campaign was styled by Katy England and photographed by David Sims on location at the Zorthian Ranch in Altadena, California. The Zorthian Ranch is a hippy camp from the ‘70s that has been completely untouched ever since.
Kutcher started modeling after winning “The Fresh Faces of Iowa” contest in 1997.
“I didn’t even know guys modeled before that,” the actor said of the start of his career. “I thought Fabio was the only male model, and I really didn’t fit that bill.”
Kutcher started as the face of Pepe Jeans in their Spring/ Summer 2008, which you can see here:
