Louis Vuitton F/W 09.10 : Madonna by Steven Meisel

Well it's terrible, but it does what it's supposed.
I'm drawn to the bag.
I'm sure women will be too and they would buy it!

I don't mind Madonna and her age isn't an issue, but for me, she doesn't bring anything to LV, and she wouldn't motivate me to buy one single item from the brand. That said, the sense of failure is focused on Madonna, but I suspect the fault doesn't lie with her at all.

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.

how you wanna know this wasn't exactly what happened?

Are we sure LVMH didn't rob Madame Tussaud's for Madonna's wax figure and photograph it and stick it in this ad?

Eniko would be great for this louis vuitton ad campaign, madonna looks terribly old, but anyway the b*tch sells bags, so that's good for Vuitton.

It looks like an unveiling of madonna's new wax figure... I actually liked last season's adds this one is downright weird!

Hahaha! i love the use of "DOWNRIGHT WEIRD"! Yeah, I actually agree with you. It looks like Madonna but not her! Do you get it! It's like they used a wax copy of her for this ad!

[fierceboi]

she's looking glacial

Yeah I thought so too and much more cost-saving

SS 09 campaign was so much better, I did actually like it.

I can see that maybe in the creases of the silk and the perfection of her fingers, but not in the shadows.
Maybe it was a suggestion she made herself? Seeing as she owns a large collection of Lempicka . .

It reminds me of the Akris F/W 08 campaign, only the model didn't have a ridiculous smirk on her face.

I prefer someone else to replace her. The picture reminds "Alice in Wonderland". In my memories Alice was much younger
But I adore the picture. So fairytale and sweet
One thing-POP Queen. She definately lost her face Or is it a deception? This is not Madonna, but her young clone

The more i look at this, the more angry and insulted i get! To think the amount of money spent (Meisel and Madonna's astronomical fees mostly!) and to produce such result is simply criminal!!

I don't mind airbrushing or unrealistic images in ads, after all advertising is all about pretense in order to sell the product, but i would rather stab a fork in my eye balls than buy anything from there!! She looks like a corpse, not the look i would want to emulate.

And just to think how amazing this could have been with any model, sheesh!

Rant over.
