Louis Vuitton F/W 07.08 : Scarlett Johansson by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott
i know it's a bit early, but it was announced in wwd today...
Quote:
Forget the pearl earring: Scarlett Johansson is a girl becoming synonymous with Louis Vuitton handbags. The actress, who appears in the French brand's current campaign, will do an encore in the forthcoming fall-winter spots as well. Word has it the ads will be shot next week in Los Angeles by Vuitton regulars Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

My heart sinks at the news, because the more I see of the S/S 07 ads, the more uninspiring they seem. But that's something that could be said of a lot of S/S ad campaigns, simply because of the nature of the clothing. A/W ads are always more dramatic, so this could be a Mert & Marcus masterpiece.

YAWN YAWN, but come to think of it, s/s is such a major dissapointment, a/w must be better, just like the Uma ones, s/s was boring and a/w turned out to be one of my favourite ads from that season (a/w 05/06)

While I didn't mind the last campaign, the news sucks because it's one less campaign that a model could have gotten.
I agree, really, what is the problem? Why are these lackluster actresses racking up blue chips as if they have no other avenues they can use to attract money? Why not Gemma, Sasha, Iekielene, Natasha, Snejana, hell, he could have hired Nicole Richie.
i was very disappointed when i read this...
the only thing that would make me more upset is finding out coco is doing balenciaga again...
the f/w vuitton collection was one of my favorites, and to have scarjo as the face of it, that's just...
i'm not a fan of sasha, but she would have been perfect for this campaign...
her features along with some great makeup from pat mcgrath would have been awesome...
and i'm also tired of mert & marcus...
