It’s not denim, but I saw this ad in the local newspaper magazine and thought it was worth posting. Keith Richards modelling for Louis Vuitton! Last year it was Mikhail Gorbachev… now we have Keith. I’m glad LV have done something other than the rapper hip-hop r&b scene. Next year we might get Iggy Pop!
The image has some interesting aspects:
- Is that an LV Guitar Case for his Gibson? I doubt it’s a standard product, but LV still have their made-to-order service. LV monogram hard luggage ages beautifully.
- He has a cup of tea on the case.
- There’s also a novel with a big magnifying glass… for his poor eye-sight?
Update: There’s a big clear image on the LV site – not sure how long it will remain there.
Update 2: Designboom has a decent article about the photo:
‘I told them, I’ll only do it if you make me a guitar case with the logo on it, and they’ve done it. I’m very proud of it. I’ll probably never travel with it, because it’s just too beautiful.’ the rocker declined payment for his
participation, and instead a donation went to the climate project pioneered
by al gore richards says he’s rich enough, thank you.
