Star photographer Bruce Weber's short film Ain't Nothin' Like The Real Thing kicked off Yves Saint Laurent's men's wear show in Paris January 22.

The black-and-white movie premiered on YouTube and Facebook simultaneously with the launch of the fashion show and is now available on several sites including ysl.com.

Weber's seven-minute film shows male models involved in the presentation of YSL's fall/winter collection, who pose for the camera to the tunes of Marvin Gaye, and includes a special appearance by one of Weber's favorite photographers, Bunny Yeager.

Also this week, amid the trend of fashion labels using films as lookbooks, Pringle Scotland released their short movie starring actress Tilda Swinton, which can be watched here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkzrpUEwH70.
