Madonna, meet Louis Vuitton

Let me start by saying I love Madonna. When I heard that she was the new Louis Vuitton ad girl I was excited, but really needed to see Madge and Louis together before completely signing off on the idea. When my February 2009 Teen Vogue came in the mail, other than being appalled at how thin it was, I was genuinely thrilled to see some of the first images of Madge for Louis and I love them. The images maintain Madonna’s attitude and presence while keeping in tact the integrity of Louis Vuitton, plus the ads (at least the one on the back cover of Feb 09 TV) show off Madonna’s signature asset: her magnificently sculpted legs. The only thing I don’t like about the ad is that she almost looks like Heather Mills… Decide for yourself.


Oh and I love that Toms made it into a fashion editorial (Feb 09 TV, p. 95). Their holiday look book, a toy, was the most creative and least offensive I remember taking in at Bbook last summer.
