Model of decorum
Louis Vuitton has a strange idea of models. Sure, they use beautiful models a lot of the time but then they used former Russian president, the not so knockout Mikhail Gorbachev? Now, Keith Richards has become a poster boy for the luxury brand. The campaign, shot by Annie Leibovitz, has Richards playing guitar in a hotel room he's customised with a skull scarf over the lamp and monogrammed luggage on the bed - looking as respectable as he ever could. Louis Vuitton is making a donation to The Climate project, spearheaded by Al Gore, on behalf of Keith Richards for his trouble.
