Pecheux's first advertising campaign for Estee Lauder will feature Hilary Rhoda and will launch in time for Spring 2010. Highly sought after, Pecheux's resume includes countless editorials and covers for Vogue Paris, Vogue Italia and American Vogue with his runway work including the likes of Balmain, YSL, Marni, Ralph Lauren, Badgley Mischka and Derek Lam.
