Guess Jeans co-founder, Georges Marciano is the newest candidate to throw his hat...or should I say, pants...into the gubernatorial ring.

Yes, you read that right. Georges Marciano, who co-founded the high-end jeans company in the early 1980s along with his brothers, says he's seeking California's highest office, not as a Democrat or Republican, but as an independent.

No online presence yet, but Georges Marciano does have a personal site dedicated to his legal battles with Christie's auction house and something about stolen art.

He's also posted a short biography

Georges Marciano was the primary designer, CEO, and creative force behind GUESS?, the brand that brought stonewashed denim into vanguard fashion during the 1980’s. The market for jeans was dying when suddenly, stunning models like Claudia Schiffer and Carla Bruni were seen everywhere on billboards wearing fabulous jeans. Georges Marciano’s original designs, alluring ad campaigns, and new image were a unified concept that changed the way clothes are created and sold. Today, the same concepts created by Georges Marciano in the 1980’s are used by dozens of fashion and clothing labels for design, marketing, and branding.

What I really want to know is...

Am I going to have to start pegging my pants again? We're not bringing back stone-wash are we?
