KEITH RICHARDS FOR LOUIS VUITTON

new-face-keith-richards-louis-vuitton.jpg

Hot off the press: Check out the billboard for the new face of Louis Vuitton: Keith Richards.

The tagline reads: “Some journeys cannot be put into words. New York. 3 am. Blues in C.”

Shot by photographer extradonaire Annie Leibovitz, the ad is slated to appear in magazines next month.

The Rolling Stones guitarist plans to donate the fee for the ad to the Climate Project, launched by Al Gore and backed by Louis Vuitton.

    Yes, Kidge, it would be fitting–if the luggage weren’t far better quality leather than this man’s face.

    Blech!

    Aw, I love Keef and his SharPei face. Besides, he’s got great style and his face is way less scary than the old dudes who surgery themselves into stretched-out, shinyface burn victims.

    Yes Keith look rough and drug fucked…but I think this campaign looks really cool. It’s not your typical sexy airbrushed model. When you look at it you think rock and roll and the lifestyle that goes with it which is probably what Louis Vuitton’s aim was anyway.

    Sympathy for the Devil. It makes me wonder + smile. That’s what superb advertising and communication are about.
    Simply + great. And Keith Richards is a scoop. Well done everybody.
