We just heard from the guys over at Five Four Clothing that they’ve tapped ‘Glee’ actor Cory Monteith, who plays football quarterback Finn Hudson in Fox’s fantastic new song-and-dance romp through high school, as the face of their holiday 2009 advertising campaign.

Creative director Andres Izquieta told me that he and label co-founder Dee Murthy have been friends with Monteith for about the last year or so and wanted to feature up-and-comers as the brand’s ambassadors.

‘We felt Cory was a great fit for the brand, so we shot it a few weeks ago and launched the campaign on Friday.’

For anyone who’s keeping track, the new show has barely aired its seventh episode of its debut season (No. 8 is scheduled for Wednesday night).

Now all somebody needs to do is cue up Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” on the All the Rage jukebox and we’ll be all set.
