    Directed & photographed by Ellen Von Unwerth (famous for her extremely sexy style of shooting), this fashion shoot was produced about 8 years before Margot Robbie's movie 'Barbie' came out.

    uniE608 Pepe Jeans 'Tumble'
    Directed by the incredible, sadly departed director Frank Budgen at Gorgeous Productions and starring a young, street cast Dan Macmillan.
