Robot Rock: Daft Punk Stars in Saint Laurent's Music Project

The two masked French gentlemen who make up the iconic band known as Daft Punk are the latest musicians to star in Saint Laurent's Music Project campaign.

The two masked French gentlemen who make up the iconic band known as Daft Punk are the latest musicians to star in Saint Laurent's Music Project campaign.

The band unveiled details about its upcoming album, Random Access Memories, in a video screened Friday night at Coachella. In it, they, singer Pharrell Williams, and guitarist Nile Rodgers are seen wearing sequined tuxedo jackets — Saint Laurent Black Glitter "Le Smoking" Jackets, in official parlance — created by Hedi Slimane. On Saturday, the house released photos of the duo wearing the jackets and uploaded another video to YouTube that features additional photos of the performers in their sparkly stage wear.

Daft Punk has been working with Saint Laurent since Slimane's debut collection for the house, which was shown last October. The duo created a 15-minute soundtrack for Slimane's Spring 2013 show. They join Marilyn Manson, Courtney Love, and a number of other musicians who've been featured in the Music Project campaign. Take look at Daft Punk's video below and find their ads here in the gallery.

Courtney Love Joins Marilyn Manson in Saint Laurent's Latest Campaign

Turns out Marilyn Manson isn't the only rock star to appear in the latest Hedi Slimane-lensed campaign for Saint Laurent.

Turns out Marilyn Manson isn't the only rock star to appear in the latest Hedi Slimane-lensed campaign for Saint Laurent. The house is continuing to cement its ties with musicians by featuring Manson, Courtney Love, Kim Gordon, and Ariel Winter in its latest series of ads, called Music Project.

Scene magazine editor in chief Peter Davis tweeted what appeared to be a picture of the campaign last Friday, and today Saint Laurent has revealed all of the pictures. The ads, which feature Saint Laurent clothing old and new, will make their print debuts later this month in magazines like the UK's Art Review, France's Volume, and Dazed & Confused Korea.

Manson and company certainly won't be the first musicians to appear in one of the brand's campaigns. In January, the brand's creative director, Hedi Slimane, released a few shots he took of Beck.

A look at the Music Project, here in the gallery.
