Dave Gahan Johan Lindeberg


London (19/10/2005) - 21st century life style brand J.Lindeberg announces Dave
Gahan of Depeche Mode and Alison Mosshart of The Kills to be the new faces of
their 21st Century Statements campaign for Spring Summer 2006, shot by cult
photographer Steven Klein. The already iconic and ground-breaking advertising
concept, currently featuring Juliette Lewis and Carl Barât, bestows upon the artists a
way to convey their personal thoughts, emotions and opinions, thus enabling the
individual to contribute not only through their physical appearance but also through
intellectual involvement.

Additionally, Johan Lindeberg has designed Dave Gahan’s stage clothing which
Dave will be wearing throughout Depeche Mode’s up-coming ‘Playing the Angel’
world tour, music videos and press appearances thus Dave becoming the source of
inspiration for the pre Fall/Winter‘06 J.Lindeberg main line collection. The designs
include suits, waistcoats, t-shirts, shirts and belts and feature graphic prints inspired
by Dave Gahan’s tattoos.

Dave Gahan says: “We’re a good fit. Johan has been designing all my stage clothes;
I’ve always loved his designs. I thought last season’s Juliette Lewis and Carl Barât
campaign was very effective and I’m excited about being involved with the 21st
Century Statements campaign.”

The relationship between J.Lindeberg and Dave Gahan is one of mutual respect.
Creative Director Johan Lindeberg says, “It was very inspiring to create an entire
wardrobe for Dave and to work with him and Alison Mosshart on our SS06 campaign.
I feel very connected with Dave as we both like to dress and express ourselves in the
same way. I’ve always liked the dark and painful expression of Depeche Mode, still
with a lot of light and hope.”

Established in 1996 by Johan Lindeberg in New York and Stockholm - J.Lindeberg
includes J.Lindeberg Concept, Progressive Tailoring, j.lindeberg.denim and Future
Sports. With 10 flagship stores and distribution in over 25 countries, Johan’s vision to
create THE 21st Century lifestyle brand for the modern consumer is fast becoming a reality.
