He's right, it's a bit like Rembrandt, though the closest match I can come up with is Vermeer.

^^His eyes are so RED!

C'mon, it's Keith. What did you expect?

 

[yourbestfriend]

I actually like the ad! So it's not the mainline but the 'core values' to support further monogram obsession? Keith looks sinister.

the ads very funny, i'm looking forward if there's a pics that contains a messed up hotel rooms (you know those rock star attitude..) breaking the TV, guitar, broken Vase or maybe the bed and there's LV luggage or maybe some damien.

agreed LOL

...the man's a legend and being in your 60's doesn't mean you aren't stylish

I like the Rolling Stones as much as anyone but is there anything they won't do to make a bucK?


...still not as weird as Mikhail Gorbachev though

Hey, guys, does anyone know when the Keith ad will actually appear in magazines (or which magazines)? I have been looking for it, but can't seem to find this ad. Does it only appear in travel magazines, maybe?

Please, please, let me know!!!

Big thanks in advance!

BONDING WITH VUITTON: Oh, the things he did for England — and now, Louis Vuitton. Sir Sean Connery, the original James Bond, is the picture of masculine cool as the latest celebrity to be featured in the French luxury giant’s “core values” campaign underlining its travel roots.

The ad is slated to appear in a range of daily newspapers and weekly magazines later this month, including The Financial Times, Le Figaro, The New Yorker and Le Nouvel Observateur.

“I wish I looked like that at 78 years old,” Antoine Arnault, Vuitton’s director of communications, marveled in reference to the Annie Leibovitz photo. “He’s sexier than ever.”

Photographed on a beach near his home in the Bahamas, the iconic actor is propped on a wooden dock next to a waterproof version of Vuitton’s Keepall bag. Such is Connery’s natural elegance, the photo Leibovitz submitted was actually a test, before he was handed over to the hair and makeup crews, Arnault said. “In this case, we had the opportunity to work with a legend,” he added. “He’s been on our list for a very long time.”

Arriving just in time for the November release of “Quantum of Solace,” the latest Bond film starring Daniel Craig, Vuitton’s Connery images are slated to run for roughly a year, in tandem with other personalities from the series, including Keith Richards and the duo of Francis Ford Coppola and his directing daughter, Sofia. Arnault reiterated that the core values spots, launched last year with Mikhail Gorbachev, have led to “good results on the products that are shown in the campaigns.”

As unstudied as Connery looks in the photo, could the time listed in the tag line be true? It reads: “There are journeys that turn into legends. Bahamas Islands. 10:07.”

“Well, look at his watch,” Arnault replied. “What a coincidence, huh?”
