I thought this was just a case of hypersensitivity when I first heard about this. But after seeing these pictures side by side, I think the jig might be up.

Thoughts?

Keith Richards may be a lot of things, but I never thought it would result in high fashion male modeling. Well, that’s a bit of a stretch, but he is the new posterdude of Louis Vuitton-probably the workings of that crazy Marc Jacobs (creative director of LVMH). The ad reads as such:

“Some journeys cannot be put into words. New York. 3am. Blues in C.”

Whatever. Apparently, Richards is planning to donate his fee to ‘The Climate Project’, an enviromental cause. The new ad was shot by Annie Leibovitz.

Equally bizarre is Louis Vuitton’s ads last year, featuring Mikhail Gorbachev in the back of a limo, being driven past the remains of the Berlin Wall, also shot by Leibovitz.

Move over Scarlett Johansson! Thoughts?!?
