Teaming up once again are the unlikely duo of Terry Richardson's arm and Valentino for the uber cool Valentino Fall/Winter 2014 Accessories campaign.
What makes the campaign so catchy and interesting is the juxtaposition between the two main subjects in the images. The American photographer's arm is almost completely covered in old-school navy inspired tattoos, which looks both shocking and unique when compared to Valentino's well-known feminine prints.
The Valentino Fall/Winter 2014 Accessories 'Camubutterfly' collection is butterfly print-heavy and plays with a bevy of psychedelic colors, which makes the contrast with the tattoo-filled arm even more interesting.
This is the third campaign that the Italian brand and Richardson team up for -- he appeared in the Fall 2013 and Spring 2014 Accessories ads.
