Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz first ventured into fashion with his own clothing line, Clandestine Industries, and has starred in an ad campaign for its collaboration with DKNY Jeans as well as a feature for Gap. Most recently, however, Wentz hit the runway for Philipp Plein’s show at New York Fashion Week alongside viral mugshot owner Jeremy Meeks, model and daughter of Lionel Richie, Sophia Richie, and rappers Fetty Wap and Desiigner.

Current AP cover star Machine Gun Kelly might have just closed out John Varvatos’ New York Fashion Week show, but it’s not the first time the Wilhelmina Models-signed rapper has hit the runway. Last year, MGK also walked in Joshua Kane’s London Fashion Week show and appeared in a David Bowie-inspired shoot for L’Uomo Vogue.

GREEN DAY

Green Day collectively starred in an ad campaign for John Varvatos’ spring/summer 2012 collection, adding their rock edge to a construction site-inspired shoot.
