Not impressed by the campaign but the shots look cinematic though, I think if you were to use an icon like Madonna, you should use her in a way that she is instantly recognisable and she doesn't really look like herself in the shots imo.

I do think Meisel should play up with the angles a bit more, the shots would look boring and monotonous over time. Maybe we should give more time to Meisel to adjust to LV, but as of now I still prefer M&M's celebrity ads for LV than Meisel's

No, that doesnt work, somehow. I feel like there's no energy in these. That runway show was such a blast, but the ads are so muted and still. With all these fringes and pearls they should have done some movement.
Madonna is all wrong for that. I think they used her to give the clothes and old look, so they would appeal to the usual LV customer.

I agree, the runway show itself mesmerised us more than the Madonna ads.

I second that! Madonna looks boring & old. What happen to the 'empowering' her? Even the bags look dull. That was not the case during the show.

well, perhaps we should wait for the finished product. there's always magic in editing. *crossing-finger*

I think Madonna looks amazing in that classic film star kinda way that she does so well, she really looks like Marlene Dietrich. It is just a very classy/parisian ad and I think to have the colours too bright would make the whole thing very vulgar, it's not a hip hop music video it's an LV ad lol.

The pose with her leg in the air is hot and it's shows off those killer shoe's very well, I guarantee 30-50 year old women with a large disposable income are gonna see this ad and want those shoes because Madonna is wearing them.

The whole mert and marcus thing was getting tired anyway, everytime I saw their ad's in magazines I thought it was just the same campaign repeated over and over, getting some fresh blood and a new aesthetic in was a good idea.

I agree.
To me this looks like mix between Missoni and Donna Karan FW 08.
Looks better than I taught it would (thank you photoshop), but I'm not really a fan of her doing gymnastics...
