Louis Vuitton S/S 2009 : Madonna by Steven Meisel

[chillinyo]

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.

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.

exactly!

don't like her expression..she looks tired

 

[TheItGirl]

Not bad. But I don't like the cafe background.

 

[AnaBGD]

This has exceeded my expectations Although the coloring echoes Missoni FW08 quite a bit...

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...

 

[Aby]

She looks good and I like it overall but enough with the I'm 50/ I do yoga and I-can-get-my leg-up pose.

 

[Bengt]

I really like them but I hope there are some photos where Madge is standing or something...

 

[songbirdsel]

they're not that exciting..

 

[Starry]

This is really not bad, I need to see more.

 

[bedtimestorynyc]

mert and marcus ads, to me, are boring! i've never liked a single LV campaign..... until i saw this!!!

 

[allure2058]

i hate it
the hair looks like a mess!

 

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

it looks ok..a lil dirty lookin
to me but meisel loves darkness..
so its good for him a photographer
and madonna looks good as well
she suits the collection quite well..
when i look at this i cant really imagaine a model
in her place so well done

 

[phalmeida]

reminds me Missoni FW-08/09 ADS...

 

[testinofan]

not bad but no feel this are LV

 

[Sweet rus]

It's not as bad as it could be, but I don't like it

 

[lucy92]

when i saw the bags in the runway photos i wasnt really impressed...but now that ive seen these ads i like them!

 

[Dkammern]

greatly impressed. when i saw the title i didnt expect this. i quite love it!
(this explains the vuitton total look madonna was wearing not too long ago. she did her hair kinda like in the campaign... but the effect wasnt eventually the same so it look a lot worse.)

 

[Miss Dalloway]

This is exactly the change Vuitton needed!

Thank god that M&M are out with their "kitchy attack you colours" and a master like Meisel was brought in, this looks captivating in a non agresive way, and it works for me, after i take focus of her its all about those fabulous shoes, and what else she has on.

And its nice to read that Meisel might stay for a while as the campaign photographer.

Very surprised the ads are out alredy though.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Whatever people say Madge is the most interesting and sensational celebrity! Well Done!

Couldnt agree more, she nailed it, fantastic ads.

 

[Salvatore]

Oh my GOD!
As much as I loved Madonna, I had my doubts about this especially after the terrible Versace ads we experienced some years ago. BUT this!!!! This is absolutely gorgeous and everything works perfectly!!! I love the shoes even more now! The colour tones are perfect!

 

[oh so vicious!]

oh what the..? the pose in the first picture... yes we know you're all into yoga, it's getting boooring! GOD i hate madonna so much, i can't even judge this ad in an objective way because she's in it. rant overr.
