Louis Vuitton F/W 09.10 : Madonna by Steven Meisel

[gossiping]

it's typical LV, better than last seasons I like it!

[dee-ha]

i much prefer last season with all the crazy poses. at least she DID SOME POSES ... ugh

[Pedro]

I hate to say this but after many attempts of M&M to copy Meisel, now is the time of Meisel to use the same effects of color and lighting which M&M often use.

I am not sure i like it... okay Madge is photoshoped like I don't know... it all looks like a cartoon a little bit... I mean it looks beautiful but lacks any sense of reality...

I have to say I love this, I was not so excited that Madonna was in the campaign again but i think it looks amazing I love the fairytale doll vibe and photoshopped aside she looks awesome love the clothes and the styling, really excited to see the rest of the shots I am in love with all the looks in this collection

That's better than last season yes (it would be difficult to do worth... ) but... ewwww, how many hours did they spend to photoshop her face, terryfying!!

Please, bring back a model for the next LV campaign.

[mikel]

horrible. hope the rest is better.

[Vinciano]

Would have been perfect if you replaced Madonna with Stam! That ad screams Stam to me.

[FashionPower]

I still don't get the Barbie badas$ vibe of the collection...I need the slutty Madonna with open legs and kamasutra poses of the SS09 ad!

[DJGroove]

sh*t. why make her look 20?

[ForChicSake]

seriously, i like it because it actually looks nothing like madonna... they used her eyes and lips and the rest is made up plus love the colours.

[Carla-A]

Eeeerk... It's ... Terribly awful because of a lot of things. Already Madonna to embody a luxury brand, it's a fatal error lol
She doesn't deliver any elegance, she's not even beautiful ! And her face... I don't know, there's something which bothers me, I mean, she has a set expression, it's very weird... And her make-up is so vulgar ! Pink lips, really, it's so ridiculous !
Anyway, I wasn't expecting better !

[Shaleen]

Didn't like the last campaign and don't like this one either!!!
She looks dead, which is absolutely creepy!!
What happened to the edgy, fashionable ad campaign?

In contrast with her 3 recent shoots with Meisel which were all VERY heavily photoshopped to make her look like a marble greek statue. I think it's Meisel's thing to use photoshop to create an image of perfection. Compare these shots for instance with Madonna's Vanity Fair shoot which she did with Meisel. Her face has the same kind of style in it. Very pristine, porcelain and statuesque. I think it's mostly Meisel's art direction at work here...

Yeah but the last campaign was still grounded in some sort of realism, it had a gritty feel to it and she looked no where near as plastic as she does here.

I get that this is probably the look that Miesel is going for but it's getting to a point where I wouldnt be surprised if they just used CGI characters instead of actual models or celebs. I mean why did Madonna even bother showing up from the shoot, it looks like a bad cut and paste job.

It saddens me aswell because they have done such amazing work together in the past and this is the kinda rubbish that is now being produced.......she looks like a pixar character.

Well,i don't love it.But to me it works because it's a very Madonna by Steven campaign.Would i have wanted it to better than this?yes.But i'll take it.I'm very curious to see the others.
