I agree.. the shots are beautiful.. but I feel like for an advertisement campaign.. esp for a big brand like LV.. it lacks a certain POP! M&M would have been great.

Exactly what you said. I dont care for these shots so far. Very boring, actually.

Those pics look pointless, which seem to be suitable for an ed, not for an ad.

i like it. the pose is good, and the feeling is strong.

I love the composition and the colours. I don't care for Madonna's music much myself - but as a person, she is just fantastic. How long has she been at it now?!!!

And I agree with 'Wednesdays Child' - the shoes are amazing!

i like it, but my issue is.... if it wasn't for Madonna, HOW would that ad POP in a magazine?

you may not like M&M's work, but their over-saturated colors made the ads so distinct. when you'd fly over a magazine at the newsstand, those colors would stick out like a sore thumb and you'd go back, thinking "wait, what was that red?".

IMO this is too muted.

I like it but compared to Mert&Marcus, this campaign is pretty boring.

The collection was so incredibly interesting. They really could have made this an iconic campaign.

And as much as I love Meisel, I think his aesthetic is a little far from what I like to associate with Louis Vuitton. The muted colour palette is a bit disappointing - I was expecting something really vibrant.

I like it

I think the sobriety/somberness works better for these particular ads than the usual bright bold colors would.

^ me too actually. The bright colours would be too much for the irises to be honest. I really like the smoky/dirty effect of it ....

[The.Rock.Inc.]

i thought they would have played up a bit more, and i am not talking about the colours.

but i think this is quite expected.

[The.Rock.Inc.]

to add on a bit more. I love the look that madonna is giving in the second shot (not really feeling about her leg's up pose), her face screams POWER. very fierce, i can't believe i am saying that because like everyone else i have seen pictures of madonna looking bad before.

i can't wait to see the rest of the shots. this season some major campaign previews are coming in quite fast... what a teaser.

Modonna rocks it!!!! the outcome is absolutely interesting.

I miss the Vibrant colours this season. But the ads look great
I hope Madonna doesn't do any more aerobics moves in any other shot
